6th December. Into Arunachal Pradesh
With our new travelling companions, Philip and Pauline, two engineering professors from Alabama, USA, as well as Sudesh Pradhan and Rofic Islam, two of Peter’s eagle-eyed bird guides, and of course, Peter Lobo himself, we made quite convoy to our new destination of Dirang in the foothills of the Himalayas. A noticeable change in climate as we moved up from the warmth of the plains to the cold of the mountains, so we piled on the layers. The afternoon was spent exploring the Sangti Valley where we added Black-tailed Crake and Long-billed Plover to our list.
Bird species total: 4174
