Birdwatching in Galala, Halmahera (Maluku)

Galala

The extraordinary, 1.5-km nesting beach of the Moluccan Scrubfowl is located 4 km to the north of Galela. The scrubfowls fly in at night, so getting good views is difficult-just before dawn is best. The nest ground is managed in a traditional manner and birders should not go without a letter of introduction from eitheeer Anu or Pak Amir at the PHPA office in Tobelo. With this you will be able to stay in one of the small huts; bring your own food, candles and mosquito repellent.
