Rain fell down when the team landed in Watu Pecak. They had to stay in the camp.
When the rain stopped, it's time to start birdwatching. Team splited up. One went to south, the other to west. But suddenly the rain fell again when they reach Muara Mujur, Selok Awar Awar. Team decided to build camp.
At night, they split up again, brought up walky talky. No cellphone signal there. They're going to spend the night somewhere near the village.
