Nothing to do this weekend? Head over to Tanjung Tuan along the Port Dickson route, and watch the raptors ("birds of prey") stop-over to take a rest after flying from Indonesia en route to the Northern hemisphere. The area around Tanjung Tuan is slowly being developed, and soon the birds may not have a resting place to go to. (Similar fate to the turtles in the Malaysian East Coast)
Oh, don't forget to bring your binoculars.

How to get to Raptor Watch?
Highway from North (Ipoh / Kuala Lumpur) / South (Singapore / Melaka)
Take the North-South Highway (PLUS Highway) heading towards Seremban.
Exit at the Seremban / Port Dickson exit and turn right at the traffic lights after the toll.
From here you will pass thru several traffic lights before entering the Port Dickson highway.
After the final toll you will come to a T-Junction with traffic lights where you are to go straight till you come to a roundabout with a very tall apartment/hotel block (PD World Marina Resort) behind it.
At this roundabout, take the 9 o’clock turn and head down the trunk road. You will pass a Chinese temple on your left and the entrance of PD World Marina Resorts on your right.
Keep driving on this trunk road until you see the Gouman Resort entrance and a golf course on your right and a sign for Hutan Simpanan Tanjung Tuan (Tanjung Tuan Forest Reserve) sign on your left.
· Go slowly (it is the 2nd right turn from Guoman Resort) until you see the sign to Rachardo Army Camp and several hotel signboards on the corner. It is a small road lined with trees.
Take the right turn into this smaller road and head straight to the end, past the Federal bungalows and Casa Rachardo. At the end of the road you will come to PNB Ilham Resort and the entrance to the Tanjung Tuan Forest Reserve.
The event is on the Resort’s field.
