Message: <blockquote data-quote="cassowary" data-source="post: 3167041" data-attributes="member: 31788">I'm probably not going to write a trip report for my current trip to Bali but I did want to plug a bird guide called Putu who works at the menjangan resort. He is a terrific forest birder and knows some good birding areas outside the resort as well. Anyway he is also available for private guiding (locally)and can be e-mailed at: <a href="mailto:psuardika77@yahoo.com">psuardika77@yahoo.com</a> and charges a fraction of the cost that the menjangan does. BTW with him (of note and off the top of my head) I saw Javan Pitta (actually a locally common bird but very hard to see well), small button quail (just a chance encounter), 2 Great Frigate birds flew close overhead (again a chance encounter), 1 beach thicknee (on the mainland), white-headed munia, Bali Starling (there are 2 regulars and 8 in total within the menjangan resort), Black-winged starling (a few of them) and a number of other birds.Just a word of warning - although he is great with forest bird identification, he's not so hot with other birds, notably waders which I was helping him with.</blockquote>
