| A surprise encounter dated 2 April'13 with the Plaintive Cuckoo |
It is not often that I go to Bakun. This is because it would take a stressful 3 hours travel on road from Bintulu to reach the place known for its hydro-electric dam. The road is tar-sealed but for many stretches the maintenance standard is poor to unsafe, thus the road conditions discourage many people in Bintulu to explore the area. In one rare occasion I managed to visit the place when my son invited us to stay for a few days and nights at his accomodation provided by the company he was working with at Bakun dam. On the 2nd of April,2013 while taking a morning walkabout I stumbled upon a Plaintive Cuckoo, a male of the species as shown in picture above.
