Paya Indah Wetlands-Today

More Fierce than MACC!
This morning, I made an appointment with 3 Heepokhisnoses and 2 kookoodiles at Paya Indah Wetlands.
Geez! I was da only visitor!!! ;-)
The Badak air...hippopotatoes..er...just how to spell this er..hippo?
OK...just look at me in da eye and say......
..hippo..po..ta..mus...! easy?

Abuthen, this buaya tembaga (above) is fierce too!

Also caught a Purple Swamphen among da lotuses!
And.... a Greater Coucal
But....could not take a picture of the sexy male Baya weaver bird who built a semi-detached nest for his two wives!!!

Paya Indah Wetlands

Close,Open,Close,Open,
Close,Open,Close,Open.

Just whadda Fcuk?

After spending RM10million and 30 months of work, we got another legal court case!
Is this forsaken place now opened, closed or what?
Paya means"swamp" and Indah means "breathtaking"!
Just what is so 'breathtaking' about this stink?

Just look at last weeks news reports in BERNAMA & The SUN
These are new reports. Not old one we are so used to keep hearing.

This is one of the MOST disgusting thing that can happen and made by people on the top. Come on, this 'swamp' is just some 13,100 hectares of an area which was formerly a tin mining zone. Just by not doing anything, it can already attract the birds.
By pumping more money into it again, adding 2 crocodiles and two 'pigs',would not help. Please lah, just stop it.
Just sack all the stoopid clowns running it.
Also please stop all the so called advertisements listing this place as a tourist attraction! It is also damn shameful! Just Google search the name itself. Tak Malu ka?

"Let me say something to you...(Ramon of Happy Feet)" go and buy eggs of some old birds called Pterodactyl and the Dodo. Once they are hatched, sure can make money wan!!!!!!! Pterodactyl (above) and the Dodo (below) Sorry yah, in English. No Bahasa Melayu names yet. This is also science subject.
This project alone, is so shameful.

Another one is just one kilometre away. It is called...."P.U.T.R.A.W.O.O.D". Cyberjaya's version of Hollywood & Bollywood, which are now attracting illegal immigrants, ants, flies, rats and snakes. This large complex supposedly to become Malaysia's answer to "Big-Time-Film Making" is rusting & rotting away! Another court case I presume?

Spotted!

Little Heron
Butorides striatus

This picture was taken in PJ, along the Federal Highway near the Astaka Sports Complex.

Identifying this juvenile bird is quite confusing as I got mixed up with the Cinnamon Bittern.

These residents and winter migrants are commonly found around marshes, ponds and large drains in search of food. Next week, many of their relatives (perhaps in their thousands) are making their way from the Northern Hemisphere such as China, Mongolia, Russia..... would be visiting us here in Malaysia.

One can go to the MNS Kuala Selangor Bird Park and also the Paya Indah Wetlands in Dengkil (which was re-opened last Sunday) to try to spot these visitors.

Get your 'Bins' ready,............it's Birding Time folks!

OOooi!!!! Open up lah!

Closed for So Long Already!
Paya Indah Wetlands
Unexpectedly, got a call from some foreign bird watching buddies that they are on the way (somewhere on the expressway near Ayer Keroh) and heading for the Paya Indah Wetlands which is very popular for wetland birds.

These old birders were in Singapore and was driven by a friend from Singapore. I was shocked that they are already on the way without letting me know earlier.
You see, the Paya Indah Wetland in Dengkil have been closed for some time because of Bankruptcy! ..ie.....bankrupt of ideas, attraction, neglect, poor management, funds and mis-management! The birds are still there! Perhilitan took over but still not open yet? So When?
This tourist attraction have been placed under renovation for too long. Also nearby, the so called Highest Tech 'Hollywood' like Movie Studio is also abandoned. Under renovation they say, but the building is rotting away! I remember that even Jackie Chan came to open this studio!
Millions of Ringgit have been 'made' and now LOST!

Back to the birds.

I rushed from Klang to Dengkil to wait for these crazy birders who refuse to take NO for an answer. Yes it is still under renovation and according to the guard who was so sympathatic, said
that there are no less than 100 cars coming here but turning back every weekend!
Want to guess what these old birders have to say? Sounds like..tiu..na..mah.(in foreign language)

Why is this so?...Just look at the Tourism catalogs and info .........!
Truly Asia, Azlinah...truly.
