    Apart from referring to a civet as a cat, this was a well-edited and well-paced video. A lovely insight into the unique wildlife of this superb region of the world

      Thanks. Yes, strictly speaking that was a loose way to refer to a Civet. Thanks for pointing it out.

    Thankyou...a truly enjoyable watch. Putting Borneo on my bucket list for birds for sure...Didn't realise how many Toucans, Barbets etc could be found there 😊

    • @alanadare7052
      @alanadare7052 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thanks . It's a fantastic place for birds. No Toucans though. Probably Hornbills were what you meant as both families have such huge beaks and get confused.

    Alana and Greg, am in awe of your trip. Your wildlife video and photos are fabulous along with commentary to get a flavour of the wildlife seen, places visited and general travel. I happened to notice at 31.10 the overlaying Blue-eared Kingfisher for a bee-eater, possibly a Blue-Throated Bee-eater (Iooked it up). Inspiring stuff to get out more and see the wonders of the natural world ! Cheers, Richard

    • @alanadare7052

      Thanks RJ. Yes, Greg meant to put in BT Bee-eater. I didn't pick it up either. Well spotted.

      He did for the Pitta on the track and tried for some other rare species but mostly they were just spotted. Easy enough with Hornbills!

    Singapore also has several species of sunbirds, particularly the Olive-backed Sunbird. However, Hong Kong 🇭🇰 SAR only has one single species of sunbird, and that is the Seallowtail Sunbird. Its favourite flower nectar is from the Baihinia Flowering Tree which blooms in the spring.
