Trogon at Bukit Rengit

I went for my second visit to Bukit Rengit, near Lancang this morning. My son, Firdaus tagged along.
Meet 'Makus' (PhotoMalaysia member) and a lone MNS Member.
Macus went all the way from Shah Alam, and I have a time to appreciate his long 500mm f4.0 Nikon lens.
With his help I manage to captured my first Trogon. Yeh!!
At 10.45am we said good bye to Makus and went to Deerland.
