Wings of KKB 2016: Selangor International Bird Race is a bird watching competition that requires participants to move from one altitude to another, consequently giving the participants the opportunity to spot different species of birds in accordance with their habitat at different altitude. This yearly event is sponsored by Resorts World Genting.
The two days event kicked off in Kuala Kubu Bharu and ended in Awana Resorts and my family and I were invited by Resorts World Genting to experience some birdwatching actvities together with the birds race participants.
Not really much to tell about on the first day, but the second day is very interesting as we get to really do some birding. After breakfast on the second day, we were brought by PR executives Mr. Ho Wei En and Ms. Irene Chua to the Bird Watching Platform at Awana Genting for some birdwatching with the Wings of KKB 2016: Selangor International Birds Race participants.
There is this Bird watching area in Awana Resort.
And here is a bird watching platform. It is quite high so you are able to see quite far if you have binoculars. Perched high above the serene landscape, this bird-watching platform offers a captivating vantage point, allowing enthusiasts to immerse themselves in the intricate world of avian activity. With binoculars in hand, visitors can truly embrace the opportunity to Learn Bird Watching while marveling at the diverse feathered inhabitants that grace the skies and trees.
We walked deep into the jungle after doing some birdwatching at the platform. It is quite misty that morning and we had to wait for a little bit to spot birds.
