I was up before breakfast again birding the forest trails - my favourite forest birds today were White-rumped Shama and Black-winged Flycatcher Shrike and also a Coppersmith Barbet in the resort grounds. Returned back to meet mum and Linda for breakfast and we had some rain for an hour or so but when it cleared by mid morning we all set off up to the lighthouse at the top of the trail to watch the raptors migrating. From the lighthouse we had expansive views of the straits and I enjoyed watching 2 very large green turtles swimming in the waters below before we headed back for a swim in the sea. Today we 've enjoyed watching some family parties of monkeys frolick along the power cables - something they clearly do regularly. Tomorrow we've booked the nice taxi driver that drove us to Port Dixon yesterday to come pick us up at midday when we check out and take us to Seremban where we'll take a walk around the town looking at the shops and, in particular, visit the Seremban bakers (something I've dreamed of doing since last years visit as they make the best portuguese custard tarts ever to be found). Then it's back to KL for one night before I'll head off to Ipoh for 3 days to catch up with birding friends Cheaw Hon Ming and Poon Kuan Yaow and also get to 'clog' with the Ipoh dance club. Linda and mum have made plans too for their 3 days in KL and Linda is going to update the blog with their news for that period.
