All great company.
A group of 20 eager birders gathered at Puncak Inn for a 2
days one night birding trip.
The group was divided in 3 groups with 2 leaders & 5
members. We flagged off around 2.30pm on 19th May 2018 and each
group went off to explore their own birding sites.
All were exhausted
after hours of walking , searching, waiting,
photo shooting and discussing. After a night's rest after dinner on Saturday, we welcomed another fruitful day on Sunday.
After a night rest, all were looking fresh. Off to individual sites again after Sunday breakfast
on 20th May Morning,
And……all the excitement starts again till 1 pm.
