Welcome to my Malaysian Birds Experience MBE

Your visit to my Malaysian Birding Blog is most welcome. The blog is to showcase my encounter of the feathered kind in my life time. So stick around and enjoy my photos collection. Better still join Multiply & be my contact and receive updates from me.

There are two types of birding. When we were young we look and chase after birds with long legs Sometimes it is the other way round. Those were the time W.H.S. was the theme and you would do anything to get their company and of cos' the camera helps.

I started bird photography of the second kind in 2005 during the coming of digital camera age. Digital photography allows you to take photos without film negative processing & printing cost. However the capital cost upfront to get a good camera-lenses combination starts from RM6,000 onwards . But then you can slowly upgrade with better secondhand lenses in the grey market.

WARNING Birding is an addiction once you started its hard to stop. Now the wifey and children are birding widow and orphan.
