New Trip Report: Sabah and Sarawak

Here’s a report that Adam Walleyn sent to me. As Adam notes, this birding tour report contains very little information on the mammals they saw, but I think it is worth sharing because they saw some premier league species including Bay Cat and Tufted Ground Squirrel.  And some information is better than none.

Sabah & Sarawak, 2023: Rockjumper Tours, 26 days & 57 species including Sunda Clouded Leopard, Bay Cat, Otter Civet, Spot-winged Fruit Bat and a Tufted Ground Squirrel.

    Wow! That is a tantalizing species list. Well done!

    Holy $hit! Add the perfect Tarsier experience (a nemesis mammal of mine) and this was quite the trip. Maybe the key is to go looking for birds?…

    Nah….LOL

        I know a birdwatcher that saw an Eurasian Lynx with cubs in a meadow in full daylight in Slovenia. Cubs were playing. He didn’t take a single photo because “I am not interested in it” and asked the guide (who never saw a Lynx in the day during years of guiding!) to leave the place after a few seconds…

    Fantastic sightings of birds and mammals (bay cat? clouded leopard? come on!) long dreamt of by the rest of us.

    As usual no photos of those Bay cats…
    Despite looking at it for a long time it seems…
