During Bird tour Borneo, you will spot a huge number of bird species in Tanjung Puting National Park.

The best month to do birding is during the dry season (May – September) and the best time is in the early morning. Birds are probably the most active and alert in the morning because they are out trying to find food. Depending on where you are, the advantage of going birding early in the morning is that no one else is around to disturb the birds. You will be able to watch their natural behavior.
