One thing I have wanted to do for a long time is survey what animals live around the resort – so we got a birding guide to come over and see what he could find. I am pleasantly surprised by what we were able to find and now look forward to doing a few more surveys and also getting up at dawn to go look up the hill!
In one morning he managed to find 16 species of interest when looking from the boundaries of our land (click the link for more details):
- Spectral Tarsier
- Black Macaque
- Sulawesi Babbler
- Pale Blue Monarch (Fly Catcher)
- Barred Rail
- Slender Billed Crow
- Ruddy Kingfisher
- Common Kingfisher
- Collared Kingfisher
- Lilac Cheeked Kingfisher
- Olive Backed Sunbird
- Channel Billed Cuckoo
- Black Billed Kingfisher
- Sulawesi Gliding Lizard
- White-bellied Imperial Pigeon
- Pacific Swallow
If you are an early riser and curious to see some of these then we suggest bringing shoes you don’t mind getting dirty – and some binoculars or a long lens.
