Birds of the Lambir Hills, Sarawak Borneo

This is a video of a few of the birds found in the Lambir Hills National Park and Borneo Tropical Rainforest Lodge that I went to a couple of months ago. The national park and lodge are located about hour's drive from Miri in Sarawak. A new area for birds as most of my birding has been on the eastern side in Sabah.

I would normally try and use my big steady Canon XH A1 and tripod, but due to shy birds, rain and this being a more on-the-go birdwatching holiday, I had to use my hand-held smaller HV40 camcorder. Still a great video camera!

There are 5 birds species in the video, they are Olive-backed Woodpecker, Orange-bellied Flowerpecker, Red-eyed Bulbul, Grey-bellied Bulbul and the wonderful Fluffy-backed Tit-Babbler.
