MNS Miri and AWC at Loagan Bunut 20-21st February 2010
MNS Miri Branch will be making a trip again to Loagan Bunut National Park to conduct the annual Asian Waterbird Census this coming 20-21st February weekend. It'll be a short overnite trip but we hope to clock up more birds than we did back during AWC 2009.
The few times we carried out the census has always been eventful, the peak of which must have been the sighting of Storm's Stork during our first AWC there in 2001. Subsequent to that, our members have been dilligently making the arduous drive to the biggest freshwater lake during AWC season and off on a yearly basis, spending time with Pak Meran, himself an avid birder and sole owner of Mutiara Resorts perched on the highest hill around the lake.
We are hoping for many birds and little rain ... and good roads this coming 20-21st February 2010.
Members of the Branch and the public is invited to participate in this census. Transport, food and accomodation cost will be on a "shared cost" basis.
If you haven't been to Loagan Bunut, this is a good an opportunity to go. If you already have been, why not go back for a revisit? It'll be fun!
Please email mnsmiri@yahoo.com if you require further details.
