Located roughly in the middle of the Mutiara Taman Negara, there is a small footpath leading to the Tahan Hide.  The 2nd level has a generous seating area for about 8 birders if there is a group.  I was lucky and there was only one other birder there so we could move around and check out various sides all overlooking the rainforest and a large clearing in which birds could be seen flying back and forth.  Easy, relaxing birding at its best!

I made 4 visits here – both afternoons and both mornings.   I had been hoping for Blue-crowned Hanging Parrots but I later found out that the resident monkeys have eaten all the fruit so the parrots have left the area.  We did see lots of Fork-tailed Drongoes, Black-headed Bulbuls, Jungle Mynahs, Asian Fairy Bluebirds, Large Niltavas, Lesser Racket-tailed Drongoes, Jungle Fowl, Blue-throated Bee-eaters, Dusky-crested Hornbill, and what turned out to be my favourite – a Black & Red Broadbill.
