11th December. Beyond Sunderview
Today we attempted to head even further along the track but it soon became clear that the vehicles could get so far but no further as we hit yet more landslides. Despite the best efforts of the whole team literally moving mountains, the vehicles could not pass but we continued on foot. However, thick fog hampered our birding and only three new birds were added this day: Hodgson’s Hawk-Cuckoo, Green Shrike-Babbler and Chestnut-breasted Partridge. There was plenty of evidence of elephants in the area, with amazing trails of footprints heading straight up and down the mountains, but sadly in the thick fog, we never managed to catch sight of them ourselves.
Bird species total: 4205
The Biggest Twitch website will remain online in 2009 to keep you up to date with our birding adventures and let you know how we settle back into normal life, if we do!! We will also share more of our adventures and lots of photos from The Biggest Twitch
