With the temperature below freezing we set off in the dark up a steep mountain track above the village to be in prime birding habitat by dawn. The whole day was spent birding the forested hillsides adding 17 new species including some very special birds such as Wedge-billed and Long-tailed Wren-babblers, Gray Sibia, Crested Finchbill, Gray-sided Laughingthrush, Yellow-rumped Honeyguide and Red-faced Liochicla. An excellent day.Bird species total: 4137
