MIGRANTS CHECKED-IN — THE AVIAN ARRIVAL IN LANGKAWI

Birdwatching | Migratory Season & Field Notes

Imagine if there were an Avian Immigration Department—the arrivals hall would be buzzing with activity right now. Since the season began, a remarkable variety of migratory species have "checked in" to Langkawi, seeking refuge in our rich coastal and forest ecosystems. The migratory season brings a unique energy to the island. From the stealthy Kingfishers to the majestic Raptors, these travelers have flown thousands of miles to find sanctuary here. Here is a glimpse of our latest migratory "arrivals" list:
Common Sandpiper (Actitis hypoleucos) Common Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis)
Brown Shrike (Lanius cristatus) Tiger Shrike (Lanius tigrinus)
Asian Brown Flycatcher (Muscicapa dauurica) Oriental Honey Buzzard (Pernis ptilorhynchus)
Blue-Tailed Bee-Eater (Merops philippinus) Black Baza (Aviceda leuphotes)
Little Egret (Egretta garzetta) Chinese Pond Heron (Ardeola bacchus)
Yellow Bittern (Ixobrychus eurhythmus) Grey Wagtail (Motacilla cinerea)
And there are many more to come! This is the perfect time to dust off your binoculars, prepare your notebooks, and head out into the field. The birdwatching season is officially in full swing, and Langkawi's skies and wetlands are ready to tell their stories.
