Birding Temerloh Riverbank

Birding at Temerloh River Bank

TEMERLOH

I went to Temerloh for business and spent time photographing birds and activities along the Pahang Riverbank.

The Pahang River mainly flows through the state of Pahang, Malaysia. Its drainage basin covers its Pahang and the neighboring state of Negeri Sembilan. At 459 km in length, it is the longest river on the Malay Peninsula. (Wikipedia)

River banks are a vital habitat for many birds because they provide food and shelter. 

How do river banks attract birds? 

Food: Birds are attracted to river banks to feed on fish, invertebrates, insects, crustaceans, and tadpoles

Shelter: River banks provide shelter for birds
