Colmar Tropicale at Bukit Tinggi - SkyWatch Friday

I went to Bukit Tinggi, Pahang - with the intention of shooting the montana birds there. That place is well know for Broadbill species, beautiful bright colour bird with comical face. Rain prevent me from even taking out my camera, so with an umbrella we just explore the area and get to know the area at Botanical Garden. Breeding season will be in february and march, so I'll already mark my calender for repeat visit there.
The resort there is in festive Chinese New Holiday mood with red colour every where. I just contented with this non-nature photography, and no blue sky this time.

The red sort of makes up for lack of blue, no?

I was there twice and hoping to do the same, and I was twice disappointed. Any idea which part of Bukit Tinggi to visit to spot Broad Bill?
