ZooChat Big Year 2016

and here's another one:

I was at Sepilok (in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo) for one day - two nights. Sepilok was basically added to the trip for the chance to look for tarsier and slow loris at night. It's a difficult place to bird because for most of the day there is little activity, so there's not a lot on the list. But we were mostly there for spotlighting - and that is always hit and miss (...in this case almost entirely miss).
