Sabah Birding.
I was at Poring Hot Springs for two days and did not see many birds. The place was super packed out with Malaysian tourists, but. I went for a walk along the edges of the park, following the river to the camping area.
I came across this weird worm looking thing with a hammer head. So I named it the Hammer-headed Worm.
This Common Sandpiper was lurking around on top of a bridge covered in muddy water. I have no idea what he was feeding on.
Common Sandpiper (Actitis hypoleucos)
I think this is a Plain Sunbird, but I really have not much idea. My books are totally crap.
And last but not least, a chocolate tree. I did not know they grew cacao in Borneo. doh!
