10 Malim Nawar Malim Nawar wetlands is an ex-mining area that is vast in size which a large part of it is now threatened by sand mining or became less accessible due to extensive fencing by local farmers.

11 Malim Nawar area surveyed

12 Malim Nawar Key Species: This is the best site to spot rare migratory ducks in Perak. During AWC in recent years, rare ducks such as Tufted Duck (Aythya fuligula), Northern Shoveler (Anas clypeata), Northern Pintail (Anas acuta) were counted.

17 Sg Buaya area surveyed

18 Ulu Dedap & Sg Buaya Key Species: Lesser Adjutant (Leptoptilos javanicus) This globally VULNERABLE species is best found here within Perak. The area is also important for Asian Openbill (Anastomus oscitans) and Intermediate Egret (Mesophoyx intermedia), with both species found in largest concentration here within Perak.

21 Pantai Remis This is a newly proposed site for surveying coastal waders in Perak. However, the survey was only carried out there once in 2015 due to lack of manpower for subsequent years.

22 Pantai Remis

23 Pantai Remis Key Species: Chinese Egret (Egretta eulophotes) This is one of the possible site to see this globally VULNERABLE egret species in Perak.

25 Kuala Gula Kuala Gula is a mangrove forest at the northern end of the Matang Mangroves, this is also one of the most accessible mudflat site in Perak for waders This site is surveyed by Perhilitan

26 Kuala Gula Key Species: Milky Stork (Mycteria cinerea) This is the last natural breeding ground for the globally ENDANGERED species in Malaysia. Perhilitan and Zoo Negara is currently working on reintroducing captive bred birds back to thewild.

27 Bidor Bidor is an ex-mining land near the Chikus Forest Reserve This site is surveyed by the Selangor Branch

28 Bidor Key Species: Grey-headed Lapwing (Vanellus cinereus) This is one of the earliest sites in Perak where this species that was once scarce were seen in sizeable numbers.

29 AWC Perak - challenges 1. Declining membership/birder base 2. Lack of wader specialist / enthusiast 3. Lack of public awareness about AWC sites 4. Some survey sites unprotected & degrade over the years

30 AWC Perak : suggestions for improvements 1. Increase branch membership 2. Increase interests in birds/waders 3. Raise public awareness about the sites 4. Kiv add Pantai Remis to AWC 5. Kiv joint effort with Perhilitan/local govt
