Come November and December each year, the virtually untouched mountainous forests of Fraser's Hill will receive many species of newcomers, that is the migratory species that fly across from places as far as northern Siberia of Russia and islands north of Japan and neighboring land mass, to seek new feeding grounds as well as to escape the freezing winter up north. The sightings of Siberian thrush from Siberia are often reported and they are truly a rare treat to ardent bird watchers.

They will fly back home to the north in March and April when the sun is getting sunnier.
