Birds of Royal Perak Golf Club, Ipoh

I was invited to accompany a VVIP to document the birds at Royal Perak Golf Club (RPGC), accompanied by a few members of Malaysian Nature Society (MNS) Perak Branch.  Several birds were sighted, including Spotted wood owl, Oriental pied hornbill, Spotted dove, Collared kingfisher, Asian koel, Coppersmith barbet, Lineated barbet, Crested serpent eagle, Black-naped oriole & Large-tailed nightjar, however, the following were the birds which I had managed to photograph.

My bird photographs editing workflow has recently changed, with the introduction of DXO PureRAW.  PureRAW enhances your RAW files to open up even more possibilities with Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom.  DxO PureRAW’s artificial intelligence strikes the perfect balance between preserving detail and eliminating noise, particularly the DeepPRIME technology.  Head on to DXO's website to learn more about PureRAW.
