1 A Tropical Birding SET DEPARTURE tour PENINSULAR MALAYSIA SET DEPARTURE TOUR June 25 July 2, 2016 TOUR LEADER: SCOTT WATSON Trip Report and photos by Scott Watson Common and aggressive, the Streaked Spiderhunter from Bukit Fraser.

2 Introduction This set departure tour (which coincides with the Borneo set departure) is the ultimate South East Asian birding introduction, maximizing the most diverse sites in the region in a short amount of time. In only eight days we found 234 species of birds and 16 species of mammals, all in first world Peninsular Malaysia. Great infrastructure, great food, and amazing people all add to the joy of this tour. We started in the lush coastal mangroves of Kuala Selangor where we cleaned up on mangrove specialists while taking in the sites. Next we went up to world famous Bukit Fraser or Fraser s Hill where we enjoyed massive mixed feeding flocks of montane species like Blue Nuthatch, Malayan Laughingthrush, and Fire-tufted Barbet. Our final site was in the steamy, lowland ancient rainforests of Taman Negara National Park where Hornbills, Babblers, Pittas, and Broadbills dominate. Peninsular Malaysia offers up a great duo of easy travel and some of the best birding in Southeast Asia. Itinerary Surely one of the best looking Broadbills, the Black-and Red Broadbill from Taman Negara.

3 July 2 Taman Negara to Kuala Lumpur Departure June 26 th, 2016 An early start had us in the coastal area of Kuala Selangor for dawn, to the west of Kuala Lumpur. This is our only area on tour to try for mangrove and coastal scrub species, so it is important to be productive here. On arrival we noticed that the trees surrounding the parking lot were bursting with fruit so we spent a few minutes here picking up some new birds before the park gate opens. Surprisingly our first good bird was a calling ABBOTT S BABBLER which we managed to coax to the edge of the parking lot. Now it was light enough out to see the many COPPERSMITH BARBETS and PINK-NECKED PIGEONS in the fruiting trees, as well as the large LINEATED BARBET. Next we made our way toward the coast, first birding the mixed mangrove scrub where we were very happy to find the tricky MANGROVE BLUE-FLYCATCHER right away in the low vegetation. ASHY TAILORBIRDS were numerous here, and GOLDEN-BELLIED GERYGONE S common..making our way past the LONG-TAILED MACAQUES and SILVERED LANGURS we made it to the mangrove proper before the morning really starts to heat up. The subspecies of CINEREOUS TIT here is a mangrove specialist, and it only took us a couple minutes to find our first pair. Nearby we heard the distinctive call of a MANGROVE WHISTLER, and all it took was for us to follow our ears right to where one was singing. We enjoyed watching a pair of these sometimes tricky species, in their element. A MALAYSIAN PIED FANTAIL finally had enough and pushed the Whistlers away from their territory. A trio of Woodpeckers were found in the mangroves; GREATER and COMMON FLAMEBACK and multiple LACED WOODPECKERS. But what seemed to be the most numerous species today were the loud COLLARED KINGFISHERS. With the temperatures now in the mid-thirties we headed to a nearby restaurant before heading north. Collared Kingfishers light up the mangrove at Kuala Selangor.

4 The localised Mangrove Blue-Flycatcher and a Silvered Langur with a regular bad hair day. Now out of the heat of the lowlands, we reached the legendary Southeast Asian birding site of Fraser s Hill or Bukit Fraser. Fraser s Hill is an old British hill station in the Titiwangsa Range that allows exploration of pristine hill forest from the highest peak at around 4925ft/1500m all the way down to The Gap, at its base, which is at around 2625ft/800m. In the afternoon we began our birding just outside our comfortable hotel. A nearby fruiting tree held our first BLACK-BROWED BARBET, surrounded by multiple LONG-TAILED SIBIA, and the abundant CHESTNUT-CAPPED LAUGHINGTHRUSH. The roadside birding here is great, with very little traffic, and flocks love the edge effect. Further along we found a small flock which held a nice pair of COMMON GREEN-MAGPIE, the stellar BLACK-AND-CRIMSON ORIOLE, the stunning SILVER- EARED MESIA, and a LITTLE PIED FLYCATCHER. One of the final birds of the day was the shy BUFF- BREASTED BABBLER giving fleeting looks. And on the way back to the hotel the final mammal of the day was a nice WHITE-THIGHED LANGUR. The hulking Fire-tufted Barbet is always the group favorite.

5 June 27, 2016 This morning we started pre-dawn to see what might come down to the roadside, hunting for insects near the streetlights. First was the abundant CHESTNUT-CAPPED LAUGHINGTHRUSH, and ORIENTAL MAGPIE- ROBINS, but best were the 2 LARGE NILTAVA feeding from around the light. As the sun rose we managed to find a flock of Laughingthrushes which held all 3 species of the region. Of course the Chestnut-capped, but also the sleek, endemic MALAYAN LAUGHINGTHRUSH, and the often tricky to find BLACK LAUGHINTHRUSH, moving through the canopy. Making our way to the bridge crossing the small creek, we found our target SLATY-BACKED FORKTAIL, in fact we found 5 of them! After a delicious breakfast we ventured to a forest trail mid-morning. We took Bishops Trail hoping for a couple targets, instead we nearly cleaned up! It didn t take us long to find the ultra-skulking, mouse-like PYGMY CUPWING which decided to sit on an exposed log for all to see. Just before this however we ran into an incredible feeding flock which contained a pair of the much sought after BLUE NUTHATCH, many GRAY- THROATED BABBLERS, a pair of beautiful SULTAN TITS, a RUFOUS-BROWED FLYCATCHER, MOUNTAIN FULVETTAS, BLUE-WINGED MINLA, and more COMMON GREEN-MAGPIES. Further along the trail the distinctive calls of Broadbills lead us to a family group of SILVER-BREASTED BROADBILLS feeding low only 10 feet in front of us. Our final new bird of the morning was a small group of 4 of our target STREAKED WREN-BABBLERS skulking through the undergrowth. The aggressive and striking Streaked Spiderhunter is a common sight around Fraser s Hill.

6 After another great lunch and some down time we headed back out this time slowly birding our way down the very birdy new road into The Gap, hopefully finding new birds at different elevations. Still fairly high up the mountain we began our walk down, first running into both BLACK-BROWED and FIRE-TUFTED BARBETS feeding on some fruiting trees, soon joined by both ORANGE-BELLIED and BLUE-WINGED LEAFBIRDS. Next we found a male RED-HEADED TROGON high in the canopy, looking like a huge red fruit, followed by less colorful MOUNTAIN BULBULS and a single YELLOW-BELLIED WARBLER. After another kilometer or so down the mountain we found a rich grouping of fruiting trees, which was also rich in bird life. A trio of YELLOW-BREASTED, PLAIN, and FIRE-BREASTED FLOWERPECKERS was nice, as were the dozens of LITTLE CUCKOO-DOVES, huge flocks of EVERETT S WHITE-EYES, BLACK-CRESTED, the stunning SCALY-BREASTED, ASHY, and STRIPE-THROATED BULBULS. Overhead a BLYTH S HAWK-EAGLE flew by. Onwards we went, next finding the Peninsular Malaysian endemic RUFOUS-BELLIED SWALLOW, and our final great birds of the day was a pair of the cartoonish, yet stunning LONG-TAILED BROADBILL, and a nice GOLD-WHISKERED BARBET before the sun set and we headed back up the mountain to Fraser s Hill. June 28, 2016 Rufous-browed Flycatcher (left) and Black-and-Crimson Oriole (right). This morning we took the morning shift down the mountain road to the gap, this time starting off further down the mountain. During our boxed breakfast we finally found the very vocal RED-THROATED BARBET, as well as the diminutive BLUE-EARED BARBET. Next we found a couple flycatchers; HILL BLUE, and the very vocal WHITE- RUMPED SHAMA. Checking the fruiting trees again we found 2 new Flowerpeckers, ORANGE-BELLIED, and YELLOW-VENTED. The morning was a bit slow however compared to yesterday afternoon, except for the surprise pair of RHINOCEROUS HORNBILLS flying over. After lunch and a break we spent eh afternoon birding around Fraser s Hill itself, starting off at Pine Hill trail which turned out to be incredibly quiet expect for a WHITE-THROATED FANTAIL, BLACK-THROATED SUNBIRD, and CHESTNUT-CAPPED LAUGHINGTHRUSHES. Next we birded the forested roads, adding LESSER YELLOWNAPE, BAR-WINGED FLYCATCHER-SHRIKE, GRAY-CHINNED MINIVET, JAVAN CUCKOO-SHRIKE, WHITE- BELLIED ERPORNIS, and the fantastic BLACK-THIGHED FALCONET to the list. This evening we came extremely close to a vocal MOUNTAIN SCOPS-OWL but it had managed to wedge itself into an impossibly dense bush on the side of a cliff, and sadly flew before we could get a look.

7 June 29, 2016 The colorful Black-browed Barbet (left) and the common Long-tailed Sibia. This morning we hit the road to the lowlands, but first we had a couple hours to bird the lower sections of the Gap road. A nice RAFFLE S MALKOHA starting things off, as did a flyover CRESTED GOSHAWK, but soon the action picked up with some Woodpecker action with both RUFOUS and MAROON WOODPECKERS showing well, followed by a very active family party of VELVET-FRONTED NUTHATCHES. Even further down we found our target BAMBOO WOODPECKER in a huge stand of Bamboo, but was then chased away by a larger BAY WOODPECKER! And minutes before we found a stunning CRIMSON-WINGED WOODPECKER, and with 5 Woodpeckers so far this morning it was time to start our 4 hour drive north-east and into the steamy lowlands of the central peninsula to Taman Negara National Park, with the only other new bird along the way being a juvenile RED-BEARDED BEE-EATER, as most of the drive is dominated by a sickening amount of oil palm plantations. We finally arrived at the Taman Negara jetty were we proceeded to check in and wait an hour or so for the searing midday heat to pass. Right beside our rooms however were a few fruiting trees, home to many THICK-BILLED PIGEONS, but also a few LITTLE GREEN-PIGEONS, ASIAN FAIRY-BLUEBIRDS, and SOOTY BARBETS.. Next we made our way to the Simpon Trail, where the now local GREAT ARGUS was feeding by the trail, and even vocalising. On the Trail proper we did well finding CRESTED FIREBACK, GREATER COUCAL, a stunning adult RED-BEARDED BEE- EATER, BLACK HORNBILL, BANDED WOODPECKER, the comical BLACK-AND-YELLOW BROADBILL, and er the trail we made our way back towards the resort, and to the Tahan Hide, a great place to watch for birds perching up in the late afternoon. As expected we found a few LARGE GREEN-PIGEONS perched in the large bare trees. A nearby BLACK-AND-RED BROADBILL nest provided a lot of entertainment, as did the resident WHITE-THROATED KINGFISHER. A pair of BLACK-WINGED FLYCATCHER-SHRIKES were nice, and an amazing 8 different BLACK-

8 THIGHED FALCONETS were in view at one time. The bat-like SILVER-RUMPED NEEDLETAILS were flying around the hide, and our final new birds were some ORIENTAL PIED, and BLACK HORNBILLS perching up before moving on to roost for the night. Not bad for a travel day! A beautiful tributary scene here in Taman Negara National Park. June 30, 2016 The cartoonish Black-and-yellow Broadbill and a nice female Great Argus. After breakfast we had an early 15 minute boat ride down the river to Blau Jetty seeing more BLACK-AND- RED BRADBILLS along the way. Here we got dropped off to enjoy a full mornings birding on a seldom birded section of the forest. In fact during our 6 hours on the trail this morning we did not see a single other person, leaving all the bird activity for ourselves. We made our way up the steep bank, eventually to the level forest trail, first coming across some Babbler activity, both PIN-STRIPED TIT-BABBLERS and CHESTNUT-

9 WINGED BABBLER foraging in the undergrowth. Next, some vocalisations lead us to a pair of stunning RED- NAPED TROGON. Further along more Babbler activity included some very vocal SOOTY-CAPPED, and RUFOUS-CROWNED BABBLERS, and eventually we were able to coax a MOUSTACHED BABBLER to come in for a closer look. After this however it became very quiet, with only one very distant Garnet Pitta calling. After an hour of silence activity picked up again with a YELLOW-CROWNED BARBET foraging overhead in the canopy, along with a pair of fairly well behaved BLACK MAGPIE, a cool type of secretive forest corvid. Now into a slightly more open forest we came across an extremely active family group of the stunning GREEN BROADBILL, including 2 shimmering males who were actively fighting over a female. What a show! Next came a quick duo of BUFF-NECKED WOODPECKER and a nice female DIARD S TROGON. On the way back we got great views of the hulking RUFOUS-COLLARED KINGFISHER which came in to check us out, as well as our third Trogon species of the day, the bright SCARLET-RUMPED TROGON. The final new bird of the morning took some work, and after a 45 minute chase we only managed meager views of the ultra-secretive LARGE WREN-BABBLER. It was now time to make our way back to the boat, and heading back up river to our resort, seeing some nice BLUE-THROATED BEE-EATERS along the way. A female Red-naped Trogon paying us a visit in Taman Negara. After a great lunch and some rest during the sizzling heat we again went down the Simpon Trail adding BUFF- RUMPED and CHECKER-THROATED WOODPECKERS to the list on our way down to the river view and swimming area. Here we picked up the stunning BLUE-BANDED KINGFISHER flying down the river, the target MALAYSIAN BLUE-FLYCATCHER and with some patience we managed incredible views of the jawdropping Bulbul, the specialized STAW-HEADED BULBUL. The trail back to the lodge was fairly quiet except for the nice GRAY-BREASTED SPIDERHUNTER foraging above our heads at one point. July 1, 2016

10 This morning followed the same schedule as yesterday, and in the boat on the way to Blau Jetty we saw a few BUSHY-CRESTED HORNBILLS along with a pair of DOLLARBIRDS. The trails this morning we extremely quiet, with very few birds singing at all. That being said we still managed a few new birds, starting with the secretive BLACK-THROATED BABBLER, and a few SCALY-CROWNED BABBLERS. Further one we found both BLACK-NAPED MONARCH and BLYTH S PARADISE-FLYCATCHER for the Monarch sweep, and eventually for very loud knocking turned out to be the huge WHITE-BELLIED WOODPECKER which showed off for us. After a nice DARK-THROATED ORIOLE low in the canopy it was time to head back to the lodge for lunch. This huge Stork-billed Kingfisher is common along this tributary beside Mutiara Resort. In the afternoon we spent our time birding around the fruit filled lodge grounds and a lot of time at the Tahan Hide. By far the best bird around the lodge were the 4 JAMBU FRUIT-DOVES foraging in a fruiting beside cabin 72, a very uncommon and secretive species indeed. The fruit trees also attracted many Bulbul species,

11 including; PUFF-BACKED, BLACK-HEADED, STRIPE-THROATED, YELLOW-VENTED, OLIVE- WINGED, RED-EYED, SPECTACLED, and BUFF-VENTED BULBULS, an amazing 8 species. Now at the hide the best new birds this afternoon include, INDIAN CUCKOO, PLAINTIVE CUCKOO, and SQUARE- TAILED DRONGO-CUCKOO, GRAY-AND-BUFF WOODPECKER, SCARLET MINIVET, LESSER CUCKOO-SHRIKE, CRIMSON-BREASTED FLOWERPECKER and the squirrel like GREEN-BILLED MALKOHA. This evening we found a very close SUNDA SCOPS-OWL, but only the guide had fleeting views. July 2, 2016 After an hour of watching the regular species foraging in the fruiting trees around the lodge it was time to make our way down to the jetty and then to our van to begin the 5 hour journey back to Kuala Lumpur. Every participant was now off to Borneo to start the set departure there, but this day is marks the end of the Peninsular Malaysia Set Departure tour for Silvered Langurs watch over their surrounding at Kuala Selangor.
