Hi Wong Tsu Shi, thank you for a great book. I bought it in KK and carried it with me on a few birding adventures around Borneo.
I arrived in Tawau last night and was googling good birdwatching spots in Tawau and I found this blog. I read your post about Tawau Hills, but was wondering if you had any recommendations? We are only here for a couple of days. Thanks! Amanda
