Birding @ Taman Wetland Putrajaya / Putrajaya Heronry
Sunday, August 13, 2006
The morning was a quiet one. I was taking Linda and her friend from UK, Bob (his first time in Malaysia) around the park. She wanted Bob to see the nightjar, but that was not so difficult to show since I know the nightjar will usually stay at the same place. We walked from the car park towards the wetland cell and towards the nightjar site. After the nightjar, we drove to the heronry. Here is the list of birds that we saw (and heard) in the park and the heronry. Time: 7.30am - 10.00am
