Black Marlin Dive Resort
The Track to Barracuda Beach. This morning it was sunny so I had a look around the waterfront and spied the kingfisher I have been trying to photograph for days. Still elusive but I have got some record shots at least. Then I climbed up the hill behind the Pondok Lestari Resort and proceeded to look for birds in the interior jungle. It was pretty damn pathetic. I could hear lots of calls but could see nothing because of the dense under-story. Most of the birds were in the canopy but I could not see them. It was very frustrating. I had seen more the day before when it had been raining.
