East Malaysia V: Rainforest Discovery Center (RDC), Sepilok, Sabah

Not far away from Sepilok Orangutan Center is RDC, where the famous birding Borneo Bird Festival takes place.


The canopy is huge and high up.

Birdwatching Tower - there are many of them strategically situated  inside the park for birdwatcher.

Some mysterious reddish fruit


I gave up another planned trip to Sepilok Orangutan Center in order to stay longer in this birding heaven, but to my disappointment, my effort was fruitless and I just managed to snap a few of them.

Crested Serpent-eagle 大冠鷲 เหยี่ยวรุ้ง

Brown Barbet 褐拟啄木鸟 นกจอกป่าหัวโต

The endemic "Borneo Bristlehead" - This is the must see in RDC, a bit unlucky for failing to spot even one of the.
