  2. Actually went there for Trogons but no luck. Too many cars. About 40 cars bearing Singapore plates in a convoy,and there was a motivational prog at the Pusat Biodiversiti (at leasat 50 cars went past bearing stickers) and buses full of school children. My first time there, so didn't know where the hotspots were. Any info? Maybe better luck next time.
