My son Ilyas and I decided to go to Fraser’s Hill on Sunday. Our last trip there was almost a year ago ( 1st May 2009 Labour Day) and we headed straight for the Telekom Loop after coming up from the Gap at 9.00am. It’s  a  nice change from my regular  low land haunt in Kemensah. 
We saw about 5-6 Fire-Tufted Barbets (Psilopogon pyrolophus) feasting themselves on fruits from this tree.
