Please note that the timing is May (not June as in previous years due to a Malay holiday). Anything that might still be out there on Tourism Malaysia websites is wrong! > > Fraser’s Hill is renowned as a biodiversity hotspot for more than 257 confirmed species of birds plus an additional 55 additional unconfirmed. There is also a wealth of insects, reptiles and mammals still to be fully catalogued. Even if the bird-race format as such does not appeal to you, please support this annual event where apart from the race itself, birders and photographers can also enjoy wildlife seminars, workshops and exhibitions. It REALLY makes a difference to the managers of this time capsule oasis when foreigners turn up! Next to Taman Negara it is the best nature site in Peninsular Malaysia and we hope it stays that way, but the pressue from ‘development’ forces is there as well, so each year is a struggle!
