🦅👓 Haven't heard of Raptor Watch have you?

This is a public event to raise awareness on the conservation of raptors, ie: birds of prey. This event celebrates the return of these migratory birds on their journey back to their breeding grounds. This event is held annually on the month of March as that is the peak period to watch the most number of birds, and this year it is on 12-13 March at Tanjung Tuan Forest Reserve. The best time to watch the raptors are between 11am and 3pm. The reason raptors choose to fly during the hottest period of the day is because they need thermals, which are hot air columns produced by land due to the heat of the sun to help them glide without using much energy to flap their wings.
