    Gunung Kerinci (featuring tame Schneiders Pitta & world cup thoughts)

    Armed with the knowledge that Pak Subandais homestay at Kersik Tua would be showing the World Cup (no more Bengal Florican for Bird Tour Asia if this gen had been wrong) I took advantage of some ridiculously cheap Air Asia flights ('now everyone can pollute') for a ten day visit to Kerinici...

    Tabon Scrubfowl, Sabah
