Hi birding-aussers,
Some sad news – well respected Malaysian birder and photographer Choo Tse Chien passed away yesterday. I’m sorry, but I have no further details of his passing. The funeral will be held at 2pm on Sunday, Aug 28th at the Wesley Methodist Church, Burma Rd, Penang, Malaysia.
Whilst I never met Chien personally, I was in touch with him through social media sites and was quite familiar with his work. For those not on Facebook, Chien’s work can be seen at: http://www.aviannaturescapes.net/Site/Home.html and also here: http://www.pbase.com/tsechien
Those of you that have participated in the Borneo Bird Festival, Chien was an active organiser, contributor and participant. He was scheduled to present on bird and nature photography in the forthcoming event in October. See: http://www.pbase.com/tsechien for more information.
