On 1st of June 2009, without setting foot in Rafflesia Information Centre (RIC) despite traveling more than 500 km, we set for home.

A farewell round of birding in front of RIC yielded good birds, three Whitehead's Broadbills showed themselves on a tree trunk far inside the RIC, giving an opportunity to have some record shots.

Long-tailed Broadbill's nest found at the road side (Tambunan-Penampang Highway) also provided some photo opportunities.
