BIRD WATCHING The Bali Barat National Park is the preferred habitat of approximately 300 species of tropical birds, both migratory and endemic. Many of them are quite difficult to spot. From seed, insect to fish-eating species, all can be found here either along its monsoon habitat or coastal mangrove swamp. For a more advanced birding, we arrange guided exploration into several birding sites of the Park. To reserve best observation moment, arrangement could be made either early in the morning from 07:00 to 09:00 am or late in the afternoon from 04:00 to 06:00 pm, both for approximately two hours. Depending on current season and other weather-related facts, birding-site options include coastal mangrove area of Teluk Terima including its small river, Tegal Bunder near the Starling rehabilitation center and coastal area of Cekik close to the Park headquarter.

Recommendations and Tips :

• Walk slowly and quietly and keep sufficient distance from each other. Alternatively you may sit patiently in a good spot or tower whilst observing the birds.
• Do not wear shirt/clothes with attractive color as this may scare the birds away.
• Several bird species such as Jungle Fowl, Sempidan, Paok and Anis develop great ability to hear even the very small noise and will quickly disappear before we are able to catch any sight of their movement. Fast walk but remain quiet is important to be able to observe these species.
• Tropical humidity may cause problem to binocular, camera lens and glasses. It is firmly recommended to use waterproof carrier bag to keep these equipments. If your glasses get wet of rain during observation, try to clean it until dry with plash chamois.
• If the inside part of your binocular get wet, dry it immediately by facing it to the sun or keep it the whole night inside a dry box. Another extreme way is by warming it near the fire, but this will risk in shortening the lifespan of your binocular.
