Sulawesi Babbler @ NAD Lembeh

Sulawesi Babbler @ NAD Lembeh


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!
