    Day 2 in Borneo Rainforest

    Yes, was small elephant. I believe it was a pigmy elephant. Even our guide was excited because it’s rare to see them. I also spent time in Sarawak, and visited Bako National Park for two days (overnight in park accommodation). Bako is the place for proboscis monkeys. I was able to trek alone in...

    Day 2 in Borneo Rainforest

Also saw orangutans in the wild (one huge male, one mother and baby), plus a wild elephant, lots of proboscis monkeys, hornbills. Plus lots...

    Hello...and Red Kite sighting in St. Bees this afternoon?

    It was the colouration that first drew my attention. Very distinct red brown and grey head. It sat still for around 3-4 minutes so I got a good look.Just asked my partner and she confirmed that’s what she saw too. Looking on the internet there are a few posts about red kite perching behaviour.

    Hello...and Red Kite sighting in St. Bees this afternoon?

    I’m going to chalk it down as possibly a Red Kite, though not certain. I saw several buzzards as well this afternoon, and the query Red Kite was very different from all of them.

    No definitely not a buzzard. I’m pretty familiar with buzzards. Colouration different.

    Hello...and Red Kite sighting in St. Bees this afternoon?

    Hi all. Just joined up, prompted by what I think was a Red Kite this afternoon hunting in pasture in St. Bees this afternoon. It spent quite a long time sitting on an electricity pole before then flying to sit on a fence post, then resumed hunting. I know Red Kites are in Cumbria around...
