Birding during Sultan of Pahang's Birthday

I was still deciding what to do during Sultan of Pahang's Birthday holiday. Birding or cycling?.
Plan 1. Birding to Fraser's Hill
Plan 2. Long-distance cycling to Kuala Lipis
I woke up late for the Fraser's Hill birding. I need to depart at 6am from home to catch 7am at the Fraser's Gate. (an odd hour up and even hour downhill)
My plan for long-distance cycling to Kuala Lipis was postponed, and none of my friends agreed to join.
So, I went to my usual watering hole -Raub's Golf Course for two hours of birding. No new species, but the same old residents. (except for the Asian Brown Flycatcher which is a migrant)
