Tanjung Lipat
Bird-watchers of the genuine kind can have a spot of bird ogling at the stretch of the KK (Likas) Coastal Highway, collecively known as Tanjung Lipat. Eagles can be observed gliding along high above the Peak Condominium. Further up the road near to the vicinity of City Mosque (otherwise known as Blue Mosque by the Japanese expatriates), other species of birds, such as egrets & herons, can also be sighted in the swamps or mangroves.
The famous KK landmarks, Yayasan Sabah (Sabah Foundation Rotunda) & City Mosque, can also be seen along this stretch of road.
There is also a KK Wetland Centre nearby, which we shall cover in the near future. Don’t forget to bring along a pair of powerful binoculars. Meanwhile, have a feast of bird-admiring to your heart’s content. Be sure not to mention it to your beloveds while you are doing a spot of bird-ogling.
Where the Eagle Dares,
the Eagle soars.

And this bird you cannot change. -Lynyrd Skynyrd
To get there
Take a City Mosque bus from Wawasan Plaza. Ask to be alighted at the stop just before the roundabout nearby Likas Square. If you are from out of town, taxi would be a more viable option. Arrange the time for return journey with cabbie in advance.
