Some of you who read this blog might be interested in the Channel 4 programme Inside Natures Giants filmed in the most beautiful place on Earth, Danum Valley.
You also get a glimpse of Mike who originally started as a guide and now works with the scientists. I'm not sure if he has any formal qualifications but his knowledge of the flora and fauna in the forest is second to none. He was born in the Philippines and ended in Danum where his love and knowledge of the forest led him to be the favourite guide of scientists and visitors. He took Kit and I out on a couple of times and on one of the trips we were lucky enough to see the Argus Pheasant doing its display dance. It was Mike who taught Kit to call the Argus Pheasants and showed me what wild fruits I could eat. He is only on the TV or a second, but it was good to see his face again, and it made me want to be back in Borneo again.
