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.

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.
