It is that time of the year again where a few hundred people (including yours truly, along with the missus) converge down to Tanjung Tuan, Port Dickson to wait for the fly-back of the migrating birds-of-prey.
Since it gets a bit chilly up there in the Siberias during winter, these raptors take a trip down to the sunny south to catch a bit of sunlight. Once spring comes, our feathered friends then make the return leg back their natural habitat way up north or thereabouts,by way of the straits of Malacca.
The best place to catch a glimpse of them is at Pee Dee itself. This year, I have yet again opted out of volunteering at the event. Nothing beats lazing about on my arse, under a the shade of a palm tree with a drink in hand as I watch the other volunteers run around like demented avian-flu infected chickens.
Being the resident Herpetofauna expert, I expect ONLY to be disturbed if there’s a sighting of a lizard, snake or frog.
Anyone who is free and wouldn't mind taking a sojourn down to Port Dickson, the event is held tommorow and the day after. Entrance is free and there are a crap-load of activities to participate in.
If you do decide to come, don't forget to seek out the good- looking chap lazing-about underneath a tree and give him a wave.

hehe.. a newlywed travelling to pd for bird watching..
Half of the contestants from Fear Factor Malaysia Season 1 will be there to catch the raptor, renting a bungalow for an extended party at night and gonna show PD and the birds and their birds, eh.. biceps.
If I do decide to come, don't forget to seek out the good-looking girl yoga-ing by the beach, underneath a bikini and give her a wave. :P
Oh, you're bringing the missus. Just throw a smile then. :D
