I'd be giving live coverage of the Borneo Bird Race 2013 from 31 May - 9 June 2013 so follow me on Twitter or subscribe to my FB for photos on-the-fly!
 
Nice Pam. Will see you in Brunei on the 31st May onwards. By the way, I will be speaking on behalf of Swarovski Optik on the 9th June at RDC, Sepilok too :)
