Malaysia (Bukit Fraser, Kuala Selangor & Sekinchan),
Species List
The number of species shown undoubtedly understates the number of each species seen, or which could have been seen. I would rather get a good look at one bird in a flock than count how many there were, and am more interested in picking out new species in a bird wave than looking at species others have identified but that I have seen before. I'm also not very good at remembering to record new individuals of species seen previously that day, which will also tend to understate numbers.
The letter 'h' denotes that the bird was heard but not seen. The number in brackets after each species represents the species number in Jeyarajasingam and Pearson.

23. Mountain Imperial Pigeon (Ducula badia) (215) 1 Jalan Lady Maxwell, Bukit Fraser (26.2 a.m.), 1 New Road (top), Bukit Fraser (27.2), 1 Jalan Lady Maxwell, Bukit Fraser (27.2 ), n Telekom Loop, Bukit Fraser (27.2), 1 Jalan Lady Maxwell, Bukit Fraser (28.2 ), 2 Old Gap Road (top), Bukit Fraser (1.3 a.m.). I'm sure there were others too.
24. Feral Pigeon (Columba livia) (216) common in towns e.g. Kuala Selangor, Shah Alam.
25. Barred Cuckoo-Dove (Macropygia unchall) (217) 1 Old Gap Road (top), Bukit Fraser (1.3 a.m.)

27. Spotted Dove (Streptopelia chinensis) (220) 1 Kuala Kubu Baru (2.3), n Sekinchan paddies (3.3), 2 Sekinchan paddies (4.3)
28. Peaceful (Zebra) Dove (Geopelia striata) (221) n Taman Pertanian, Shah Alam (25.2), n Taman Alam Kuala Selangor (3.3 a.m.). Probably others around Taman Alam Kuala Selangor which I didn't write down.
29. Large Hawk-Cuckoo (Cuculus sparveriodes) (232) 1 Telekom Loop, Bukit Fraser (27.2). These birds were calling everywhere the whole time at Bukit Fraser, but seeing one was a completely different matter - even the one we eventually saw took ages to pin down.
30. Common Koel (Eudynamys scolopacea) (245) 2 Taman Alam Kuala Selangor (2.3)
31. Chestnut-bellied Malkoha (Phaenicophaeus sumatrana) (247) 2 Taman Alam Kuala Selangor (3.3 p.m.)

37. Fork-tailed (Pacific) Swift (Apus pacificus) (288) 1+ New Road (top), Bukit Fraser (27.2), 1 Jalan Lady Maxwell, Bukit Fraser (27.2 ), n New Road (bottom), The Gap (28.2), 1 Old Gap Road (top), Bukit Fraser (1.3 a.m.). There were many more of these around than I recorded - Mike saw flocks of 50+ on several occasions - but there were more interesting birds than swifts to watch!
38. House (Little) Swift (Apus affinis) (289) common throughout Bukit Fraser (26.2 - 1.3). Note that in "A Guide to the Swifts and Treeswifts of the World" by Chantler & Driessens, these birds are split into 2 species. They show Little Swift (Apus affinis) occurring in Africa and Asia as far east as India and Bangladesh, and a new species, House Swift (Apus nipalensis) occurring from Nepal east through China and South East Asia as far as Japan and Java. I understand that this is also the approach adopted in "Birds of the World". If this treatment were followed, the Bukit Fraser birds would be House Swifts (Apus nipalensis).
39. Red-headed Trogon (Harpactes erythrocephalus) (298) h Telekom Loop, Bukit Fraser (27.2)
40. Common (River) Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis) (299) 1 Taman Alam Kuala Selangor (3.3 a.m.)
41. White-breasted (White-throated, Smyrna) Kingfisher (Halcyon smyrnensis) (307) n Taman Pertanian, Shah Alam (25.2), n Kuala Selangor (2.3), 1 Kuala Selangor Stadium (2.3), n Sekinchan paddies (3.3), n Sekinchan paddies (4.3)
42. Black-capped Kingfisher (Halcyon pileata) (308) 1 Taman Alam Kuala Selangor (4.3)
43. Collared Kingfisher (Halcyon chloris) (309) 2 Taman Alam Kuala Selangor (2.3), 1 Taman Alam Kuala Selangor (3.3 a.m.), 3 Taman Alam Kuala Selangor (3.3 p.m.), 1 Taman Alam Kuala Selangor (4.3)
44. Blue-tailed Bee-eater (Merops philippinus) (312) 1 Taman Pertanian, Shah Alam (25.2), 3+ Kuala Selangor Stadium (2.3), 1 Taman Alam Kuala Selangor (3.3 a.m.), c. 6 Sekinchan paddies (3.3), 1 Kuala Selangor Stadium (3.3), 2 Sekinchan paddies (4.3)
45. Blue-throated Bee-eater (Merops viridis) (313) 1 Kuala Selangor Stadium (3.3)
46. Red-bearded Bee-eater (Nyctyornis amictus) (314) 2 New Road (top), Bukit Fraser (27.2), 1 Telekom Loop, Bukit Fraser (27.2)

49. Fire-tufted Barbet (Psilopogon pyrrolophus) (327) 2 Jalan Lady Maxwell, Bukit Fraser (25.2), 2 Jalan Lady Maxwell, Bukit Fraser, (26.2 a.m.), 1 Jalan Genting, Bukit Fraser (26.2), 1 Telekom Loop, Bukit Fraser (27.2). This was the easiest barbet to see, but they are still not easy - these records represent only a small fraction of birds heard calling. The fact that they're all in the first couple of days reflects a lack of enthusiasm for searching them out rather than a drop off in activity.
50. Black-browed Barbet (Megalaima oorti) (333) 1 Jalan Lady Maxwell, Bukit Fraser (26.2 p.m.), 1 Telekom Loop, Bukit Fraser (27.2) Again, these were calling everywhere, but were very difficult to see.
51. Brown Barbet (Calorhamphus fuliginosus) (337) 2 New Road (top), Bukit Fraser (27.2)
52. Speckled Piculet (Picumnus inominatus) (339) 1 Jalan Lady Maxwell, Bukit Fraser (25.2)
53. Laced Woodpecker (Picus vittatus) (342) 1 Taman Alam Kuala Selangor (2.3)

55. Lesser Yellownape (Picus chlorolophus) (347) 2 Jalan Lady Maxwell, Bukit Fraser (25.2)
56. Banded Woodpecker (Picus miniaceus) (349) 1 Taman Pertanian, Shah Alam (25.2)

61. European (Barn) Swallow (Hirundo rustica) (380) Very common at Kuala Selangor and Sekinchan (2.3 - 4.3)
62. Pacific Swallow (Hirundo tahitica) (381) 2 Taman Pertanian, Shah Alam (25.2), 1 Jalan Lady Maxwell, Bukit Fraser (25.2), 2, Jalan Genting, Bukit Fraser (26.2), n Bukit Fraser Golf Course (28.2), 3 Kuala Selangor Stadium (2.3). I think we saw others of this species, but didn't bother sorting through all the swallows we saw.
63. Red-rumped Swallow (Hirundo daurica) (382) 1+ New Road (bottom), The Gap (28.2), 3+ Jalan Lady Maxwell, Bukit Fraser (28.2 ). The birds seen were of the resident race badia with dark chestnut underparts and underwing coverts
64. Bar-winged Flycatcher-Shrike (Hemipus picatus) (384) 1 New Road (top), Bukit Fraser (27.2), 1 Old Gap Road (top), Bukit Fraser (1.3 a.m.)

I'm sure we saw this species more often than this, but I didn't write it down. This species has been recently split from Large Cuckooshrike (Coracina novaehollandiae)
66. Pied Triller (Lalage nigra) (390) De Palma Hotel, Kuala Selangor (3.3 a.m.), 1 De Palma Hotel, Kuala Selangor (3.3 p.m.)

70. Greater Green Leafbird (Chloropsis sonnerati) (399) 1 Jalan Lady Maxwell, Bukit Fraser (25.2)
71. Blue-winged (Yellow-headed) Leafbird (Chloropsis cochinchinensis) (400) 1 New Road (top), Bukit Fraser (27.2)
72. Orange-bellied Leafbird (Chloropsis hardwickii) (401) 2+ Jalan Lady Maxwell, Bukit Fraser (25.2), 1 Jalan Lady Maxwell, Bukit Fraser (26.2 p.m.), 1 Jalan Lady Maxwell, Bukit Fraser (28.2 )

75. (Asian) Red-eyed Bulbul (Pycnonotus brunneus) (415) 1 Taman Pertanian, Shah Alam (25.2)
76. Olivaceous Bulbul (Criniger ochreceus) (418) h New Road (top), Bukit Fraser (27.2)
77. Mountain Bulbul (Hypsipetes mcclellandii) (423) 1 Jalan Lady Maxwell, Bukit Fraser (25.2), 4+ Jalan Lady Maxwell, Bukit Fraser (26.2 p.m.), n Telekom Loop, Bukit Fraser (27.2), 3 Old Gap Road (top), Bukit Fraser (1.3 p.m.). Another bird I'm sure I under-recorded.
78. Ashy Bulbul (Hypsipetes flavala) (425) n Road from The Gap towards Raub (1.3), 1 Old Gap Road (bottom), The Gap (1.3)
79. Black Drongo (Dicrurus macrocercus) (426) 1 Sekinchan paddies (3.3), 2 Sekinchan paddies (4.3)
80. Ashy Drongo (Dicrurus leucophaeus) (427) 1 Taman Alam Kuala Selangor (3.3 p.m.). The local race is the very dark race nigrescens - this is almost black, but the underparts are slightly paler than the upperparts.
81. Bronzed Drongo (Dicrurus aeneus) (429) n New Road (top), Bukit Fraser (27.2), 1 Bishop's Trail, Bukit Fraser (28.2 )
82. Lesser Racket-tailed Drongo (Dicrurus remifer) (430) 1 Jalan Genting, Bukit Fraser (26.2), 4+ Jalan Valley, Bukit Fraser (26.2), 1 Jalan Lady Maxwell, Bukit Fraser (27.2 ), 1 Jalan Genting, Bukit Fraser (1.3), 2 Old Gap Road (top), Bukit Fraser (1.3 p.m.)

88. Great Tit (Parus major) (444) h Taman Alam Kuala Selangor (3.3 p.m.), 1 Taman Alam Kuala Selangor (4.3) The birds here are one of the very grey Asian cinereus group of races, often known as 'Grey Tit'. In this part of the world it is a mangrove specialist
89. Sultan Tit (Melanochlora sultanea) (445) 2 New Road (top), Bukit Fraser (27.2)

Another bird which I definitely under-recorded - it was common everywhere around Bukit Fraser
95. Chestnut-crowned Laughingthrush (Garrulax erythrocephalus) (483) 1 Jalan Genting, Bukit Fraser (26.2), 1 Telekom Loop, Bukit Fraser (27.2)
96. Silver-eared Mesia (Leiothrix argentauris) (484) n Jalan Genting, Bukit Fraser (26.2), 1 Jalan Genting, Bukit Fraser (1.3), 1 Old Gap Road (top), Bukit Fraser (1.3 p.m.)

There were plenty of others around, usually in bird waves when there were more exciting birds to look at!
102. Long-tailed Sibia (Heterophasia picaoides) (494) Very common all around Bukit Fraser (25.2 - 1.3) - many seen each day
103. White-bellied Yuhina (Yuhina zantholeuca) (495) 1 New Road (top), Bukit Fraser (27.2), 1 Old Gap Road (top), Bukit Fraser (1.3 a.m.)
104. Lesser Shortwing (Brachypteryx leucophrys) (497) 2 Bishop's Trail, Bukit Fraser (1.3)
105. Oriental Magpie Robin (Copsychus saularis) (501) 2 Taman Pertanian, Shah Alam (25.2), 2+ Jalan Genting, Bukit Fraser (26.2), 2 Jalan Lady Maxwell, Bukit Fraser (28.2 ), 2+ Taman Alam Kuala Selangor (2.3) and I'm sure there were others.
106. Slaty-backed Forktail (Enicurus schistaceus) (506) 2 Top Gate to Old Gap Road, Bukit Fraser (28.2)
107. Malaysian Whistling Thrush (Myiophonus robinsoni) (511) 1 Bishop's Trail, Bukit Fraser (2.3) This was undoubtedly the highlight of the whole trip, and made the trip a success all on its own. It was, however, far from easy - there was only one spot in the Bukit Fraser area where it was being seen at all regularly during my visit, and it was very difficult even here. It took me four visits, and a total of over 5 hours waiting before I finally got brief but extremely satisfying views. Its global range is restricted to a small section of the Titiwangsa Range, and the only easily accessible sites for it are the Genting Highlands, Bukit Fraser and the Cameron Highlands. Given the continued development of the Genting Highlands, it may not be easy to find there these days, and if it is as elusive and difficult in the Cameron Highlands as it is in Bukit Fraser, then this is a tricky bird to find indeed. It is well worth asking around for recent sightings when you get to Fraser's - it had been seen reasonably regularly, including four consecutive mornings the previous week at our stakeout, but persistence and patience will certainly be required.
