Birding near Sorong city

I often receive requests from tourists who want to spend their time in Sorong city for 1 or 2 days before continuing their trip to Raja Ampat or flying back to their country. 
As a tourist guide, I offer birding tours for visitors who want to enjoy sightseeing and birding tours to see mangrove or rainforest and watch birs and butterflies. Some interesting birds that participants could watch during this tour include the Orange-fronted Fuit-dove, Sahul Sunbird, Brown-backed Honeyeater, Brown Oriole, Sacred Kingfisher, Collared Kingfisher, Beach Kingfisher, Orange-breasted Figparrot, and etc.

Usually the tour starts at 06:00 and finishes as 10:00. After that participants will be returned to hotel to take lunch and rest. For tourists who want to go birding in the afternoon, the trip starts at 15:00 and finishes at 18:00.
This tour is suitable for solo traveler,  a couple or a small group of tourists who fly to Sorong city as transit point.

Equipment
In general, participants of this birding tour need to bring their own binoculars. However, if they do not have binoculars, I, as a birding guide, usually bring spotting scope which can be used by participants to watch birds.
