I was very impressed by Mr Lee and his knowledge of the birding sites and the special birds of Fraser's Hill.  I had a small target list of tricky birds and we did really well, seeing all except one of them.  Mr Lee really tried hard and made the extra effort needed to find some difficult species.  Finally seeing Rusty-naped Pitta after a lot of hard work was a real highlight. I would highly recommend him.

Dear Jen,I’ve now been back in the UK for about 1 month –much colder than KL!  I have a very happy memory of a day’s birding in December near KL with Lee who was a superb guide.  By  a strange coincidence I heard a talk recently by Roberta who had been on a birding tour in Sabah – with Lee as guide.  She was equally pleased in spite of persistent rain. I may well get to SE Asia & now know a good place to get help birding!

Dear Jen,I just wanted to let you know what a marvellous guide Lee was.
He was courteous, patient, always on time and happy to tailor the programme to our needs. Above all he was a brilliant birder, one of the best I have ever met. He even got the hang of our strange British humour!

Best wishes, Nigel & Caroline Hartley and thanks to Lee

That totalled 86 species, excluding the following four which you heard but which I didn't count, wanting to identify them "properly" the first time.

[Blue-eared Barbet]; [White-breasted Waterhen]; [Lesser Coucal]
[Blue Whistling-Thrush]

We also saw
Long-tailed Macaque; Wild Boar; Pygmy Squirrel; Common Birdwing Butterfly; Jungle Nymph Butterfly; Dragon-Lizard; Spectacled Leaf-Monkey; Pig-tailed Macaque

Even though I didn't join you solely to get a long day-list, the 86 far exceeded the indications on your website, and I felt that I wanted to write something by way of recommendation:

"I have been birdwatching for over 25 years, but was seriously impressed by Mr Lee's ability, not only to spot birds in the distance, but to get the 'scope onto them so that I could see too".

Thanks again

Krystyna and I want to thank you so much for making our stay in Malaysia so memorable.  161 species in four days including some of the most difficult birds which we would have had no hope of seeing without your assistance.  Tell your boss you are worth more money.
