It was like a family outing to Bukit Tinggi, Bentong but I just prepared myself to get some shots of our feathered friends and others too.
The first bird I saw here was the Black Crested Bulbul...a lifer since I seldom go to hill stations for birding.

| Probably a Jamides celeno (Common Cerulean) |
 |
| Common Flying Dragon (Draco volans) |
 |
| Common Five Ring Butterfly (Ypthima baldus newboldi) |
 |
| Plantain Squirrel (Callosciurus notatus) |
Striped Throated Bulbul and Pin Striped Tit Babbler are abundant here as well.

I managed to click on Pale Blue Flycatcher and Verditer Flycatcher near the parking area of the Botanical Garden. So 2 more lifers. Before leaving the parking area, I managed to see a pair of White Rumped Munias (lifer), the only Munia that can be seen on hill stations.

| Pale Blue Flycatcher (Cyornis unicolor) - Male |
 |
| A juvenile Pale Blue Flycatcher (Cyornis unicolor) |
 |
| Pale Blue Flycatcher (Cyornis unicolor) - Female |

 |
| Verditer Flycatcher (Eumyias thalassinus) - Male |
 |
| Verditer Flycatcher (Eumyias thalassinus) - Male |

| White Rumped Munia (Lonchura striata) |
So 4 lifers this time. I guess I have to come early to click on more birds.
