Sabah/Sarawak Big Year 2022

 1st January - 31st December 2022

I started my career as a freelance bird guide in 2007 after working with one of the oldest travel agent in Sabah as a naturalist guide for few years. As I get to know more about birds in general, some of the famous terms popped up such as twitchers, little brown jobs and big year. So I have decided to try my first big year in Sabah and eventually when the borders were reopened within Borneo Island, I extended to Sarawak. 

The journey was fun with the gang and my birding groups from other countries but mentally challenging during solo trips. I recorded a total of 479 birds (target of 500 species) with 12 lifers. List of birds seen and heard below:
