Birding Archives | Mainland Kedah Species List
For birdwatchers traveling between the Malaysian mainland and Langkawi, the province of Kedah offers a rich transition of habitats. This bird list, compiled from our classic expeditions starting at the Kuala Kedah coast and moving into the primary rainforests of Lata Bukit Hijau, highlights the incredible diversity of the region.
Featured Species from the Archives:
- Rhinoceros Hornbill (Mainland Specialist)
- White-winged Tern (Kuala Kedah Coast)
- Asian Paradise Flycatcher (White & Brown Morphs)
- Fiery Minivet
- Banded Woodpecker
- Large Woodshrike
- Whiskered Treeswift
- Red-billed Malkoha
While many of these species, like the Rhinoceros Hornbill, are exclusive to the mainland's vast dipterocarp forests, they represent the wider ecological beauty that connects Kedah to our island sanctuary. At JungleWalla, we continue to use these historical records to monitor changes in bird populations and to guide our guests toward the most rewarding birding locations in Northern Malaysia.
