<span style="font-family: arial;"><br />
</span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I started searching the internet to find a guide or tour that would suit my itinerary, skill level and budget. I came across a blog site called <a href="https://birdingtourinbali.business.site" target="_blank">Birding Tours i</a></span><a href="https://birdingtourinbali.business.site" style="font-family: arial;" target="_blank">n Bali </a><span style="font-family: arial;">by </span><a href="https://birdinginbali.blogspot.com/search/label/Birding%20in%20Bali%20with%20Made%20Surya" style="font-family: arial;">Made Surya</a><span style="font-family: arial;"> based in West Bali. I read the reports and comments and sent Made an email letting him know my schedule, interest and budget. Within a day Made responded with a terrific plan and itinerary that would achieve my goal of seeing and photographing as many Bali bird species as possible, with some key species targeted, namely the Javan Banded Pitta and the </span><a href="https://youtu.be/wqUfq4uRq2g" style="font-family: arial;">Bali Starling</a><span style="font-family: arial;">. Needless to say, I booked the tour immediately.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> After arriving in Bali and settling into our villa in Ubud, Made arranged for his driver to pick me up and drive to Blimbingsari Village located on the very edge of the Barat Bali National Park and also the location of Made’s home and guesthouse. I was fortunate to meet both Made’s mum and dad, and his mum cooked us some beautiful meals. We had a great chat in the evening I arrived about the itinerary, Bali, birds, cameras, and life before an early night.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Up at 5:00 am for a cooked breakfast and then headed off into cool morning air to start a busy day of excellent birding. We started the day trying to spot Pittas, but without success, so onto the next site. On the way, near Sumberkelampok, Made spotted Javan and Common Mynas on the roadside and a White Bellied Fish Eagle perched high on an electricity tower, and the species list for the day was started!</span></div>

Made has the ability to be able see and hear bird species with an amazing accuracy and resulted in us seeing, and photographing many more species than I had expected. His excellent local knowledge and birding skills guaranteed to get fantastic results. At this location Made was able to spot and call to one of our main target species - the Bali Starling. Within a few minutes the bird came into view. It was a real privilege to see this bird in its natural environment after teetering on the brink of extinction. We were luck enough to get some great photos of this magnificent bird.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div>

After an hour or so of stealth, creeping and whispering in the forest we spotted the <a href="https://birdinginbali.blogspot.com/p/javan-banded-pitta.html">Javan Banded Pitta</a> - this was a great thrill, such a beautiful little shy bird and my first pitta!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div>

Once again Made’s skill as a guide and photographer were excellent and it was a pleasure to spend the afternoon spotting birds, chatting about Bali and enjoying the wide variety of ecosystems and species associated with them. During the afternoon we spotted Stork-billed Kingfisher, Javan Kingfisher, <a href="https://youtu.be/jByHoexWv8g">Small Blue / Cerrulean Kingfisher</a>, Blue-eared Kingfisher, Savannah Nightjar, <a href="https://youtu.be/ynuNhOAfgJA">Sooty-headed Bulbul</a>, Japanese Sparrowhawk, Javan Pond Heron, Lemon-bellied White-eye, Yellow Bittern, Striated Grassbird, Cattle Egret, White-breasted Wood Swallow, Common Sandpiper, Greater Sandplover, Great Egret, Lesser Sandplover, Golden-bellied Gerygone, Striated Heron<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">By 5:00 pm is was time to stop for the day and for me to head back to Ubud feeling very tired, but equally thrilled and pleased with one of my best days of birding ever. This was possible due to Made’s wonderful birding skills and local knowledge, his gentle and thoughtful style and happy nature. He was able to design the tour exactly to suit my objectives and skill level and managed to squeeze in so many birds and locations into one day of birding fun. I would totally recommend Made and his guiding services to anyone visiting Bali and wants to see “real” Bali, and some its birds. I plan to come back again to pick up some of those species we didn’t find in our hectic day in west Bali. Look forward to coming back again.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial;"><span></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial;">After several trips to Bali, without visiting Bali Barat (West Bali) National Park, I thought it was time to give it a try. I did some internet searching and finally decided on booking a day’s outing with <a href="https://birdinginbali.blogspot.com/search/label/Birding%20in%20Bali%20with%20Made%20Surya">Made Surya</a><b> (<a href="https://birdingtourinbali.business.site">Birding Tours in Bali</a>)</b>. By the end of the day, I had confirmed that my choice of guide was an excellent one.</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.1px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial;">Made arrived punctually at my hotel in Pemuteran at 6am, and off we went, reaching the national park in time to catch the early bird activity, and while it was still very cool.</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">

<span style="font-family: arial;"></span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial;">I had not made a list of target species, though like other birders visiting the park I was keen to see <a href="https://youtu.be/PRkpRTXiziI">Javan Banded Pitta</a>, and of course the endemic <a href="https://youtu.be/wqUfq4uRq2g">Bali Starling</a>. </span></div><div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">It was not long before Made pointed out two of the starlings, perched in the open in good light. As he did throughout the day, Made showed his sharp eyes and experience in picking out these birds, and was amazingly quick at setting up his spotting scope to provide great views. Not long after the starlings we had wonderful views of two (twice, or four) pittas at close quarters.</span></div><div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial;">After spending the morning in various parts of the park exploring differing habitats - and finding lots of birds, we broke for lunch. Lunch is included in Made’s itineraries, and so we drove to his home in a nearby village to enjoy a tasty home cooked meal. The food tasted great, but the highlight of the lunch break was the great views of the <a href="https://youtu.be/DIC9vFwg7Kc">Sunda Scops Owl</a> roosting in a tree at the back of Made’s house.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial;"><span></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial;">The afternoon saw us spend a few hours looking in nearby areas outside of the national park, and even though it had warmed up, and bird activity had slowed, we still found enough to make it an excellent afternoon. Made had located a Savanna Nightjar roosting on bare ground out in the open at the edge of a mangrove area. It was still there when we got to the site, and we had stunning, close views, unlike those typical for the species, when it is seen flying around at dusk, largely silhouetted.</span></div>

<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial;">The day’s bird list was just under 50 species, which included all of the species I most wanted to see. Possibly the most striking bird of the day, for me, was the Rufous-backed Dwarf Kingfisher, a tiny, stunningly coloured species that I doubt I would ever have found on my own. </span></div>
