There is a rainforest area that is located around 1 hour 45 minutes drive from Sorong city. Yesterday night, I guided a couple from Europe, Mateo and Annika to that forest. Its name was Klamis forest We had a wildlife watching tour inside the forest. We left Sorong city at around 16:00 and arrived at the outskirts of the forest before sunset.

We explored the forest accompanied by the villagers. Along the banks of a small stream, we ssa Hooded Pitta, Papuan Pitta, Papuan Frogmouth, Rusty Pitohui and Western-crowned Pigeon.
I brought a spotting scope that was mounted on a tripod. This enabled all of us who were on the trip to see birds mammals and reptiles that were sitting on the branches of tall trees.

We saw butterflies and moths too. There were Silky Owl Butterfly, Euchenor Butterfly and some moths.
We came out of the forest at around 22:00. We had some tea break, and snacks. After that we still had an easy birding walk along the roadside to find Marbled Frogmouth. After playing its recorded sounds several times, we were able to see some Marbled Frogmouths. We also saw a couple of Pinon Imperial Pigeon at the roadside using the spotting scope.
