One of my favourite shots from the whole trip is this tangled bank of branches and roots. It was a very moody and surreal place. #borneo #fieldwork #landscape #nature #conservation

Up above the canopy for dawn a few days ago. Incredible view. Brilliant resource for canopy research too. #UluTemberong #brunei

Looking up at the canopy on the Ashton trail beneath several huge Dipterocarps, characteristic of SE Asian forests. #borneo #brunei #canopy #conservation #forests

Martin high up on the Ulu Temberong canopy walkway for dawn. Several groups of Gibbons calling in the distance and deafening 6 o’clock cicadas. #borneo #rainforest #canopy #fieldwork #conservation #nature

Amazing bit of kit that has revolutionised conservation. Interesting to see what’s walking around the rainforest when no-one is looking! #cameratraps #borneo #conservation #wildlife #bushnell

Unsurprisingly, everything has to go by boat in the water village. Even sofas! #bandar

Fruit bat mother with pup caught in a harp trap in the forest at Tasek Merimbun, Brunei with @rossiterlab. Quite a weight to have to fly with! #fieldwork #bats #conservation #borneo

Sometimes you have to overrule the little voice telling you to sleep just a little but longer. A mirror lake, calling gibbons and dawn chorus are the reward. #tasek #merimbun #brunei #borneo #conservation #rainforest
