Kuala Gula Bird Sanctuary

The Kuala Gula Bird Sanctuary (Santuari Burung Kuala Gula) is located at Kuala Gula, a fishing village on Perak's northern coast about 50 km west of Taiping, in Kerian District at the northernmost point of the Larut-Matang Mangrove Forest Reserve. Its mudflats, mangrove swamps and river estuaries are important stopover sites for migratory waterbirds on the East Asian-Australasian Flyway, present from late August to April, sheltering threatened species such as the milky stork, lesser adjutant, Chinese egret and common greenshank. Facilities include chalets, a restaurant, and tourist boat trips for viewing migratory birds.
