Other Places to find Birds in Malaysia

Of course the above places are not exhaustive.

In fact, there are more than 70 other smaller recreational sites like lake gardens, waterfalls and forested picnic areas in the country that contain trees, foliages and water pools that normally attract many species of birds.

Normally where there is water, there will be birds, and Malaysia having an equatorial climate with plenty of rain, there are always small streams and water pools somewhere.

So don't forget to bring your binoculars, spotting scope or camera to observe and capture images of the many beautiful birds when you're at the birding locations in Malaysia.

And while you're at it, watch out also for the many species of butterflies , dragonflies and insects near the water's edge just close-by.

Enjoy.

Do they not look at the birds, held poised in the midst of ( the air and) the sky? Nothing holds them up but (the power of ) God. Verily in this are Signs for those who believe. Do they not observe the birds above them, spreading their wings and folding them in? None can uphold them except (God) Most Gracious: truly it is He that watches all things. Al-Quran
