Steve,
I am glad I didn't see any Flowerpeckers in Danum when I was there a
couple of years ago. I would be truly on the horns of a dilemma as to
whether I had seen the new species or not. I highly recommend Sabah
and if you go, go for as long as you can, it is brilliant birding.
When you go, you should try and time your trip to coincide with the
Borneo Bird Festival, which is held in October at Sepilok. Great event
and a chance to meet local birders and pick up the latest gen.
Cheers,
Carl Clifford

How exciting!
Sabah just moved up another notch on my list of places to go birding.
