Abstract:
Mount Murud, the second highest peak in Malaysia after Mount Kinabalu is located in Kelabit Highlands of Borneo. A scientific expedition to this mountain was organized by the Institute of Biodiversity and Environmental Conservation (IBEC), Universiti Malaysia Sarawak in May and October 2003. Bird surveys were conducted in three locations, namely; the Church Camp (4 to 8 May 2003), Pa’ Rabata (10 to 14 May 2003) and Ravenscourt (14 to 18 October 2003). Mjoberg (1925) has written an account of his expedition to Mount Murud in 1922. He mentioned that there were similarities between the species of birds found in Mount Murud and those in Mount Kinabalu and Mount Dulit. Among the species of birds commonly found during his expedition were the flycatchers; Cryptolopha montis and C. trivirgata; and mountain blackeye, Chlorocharis emiliae.
