Well it didn’t go so well in
the wee small hours as both Salvadori’s
Nightjar and Sumatran Frogmouth
just called back to the ipod and decided not to show themselves – rather
frustrating really as it was a perfectly dry calm morning. But a Dusky Woodcock flew over a few times
doing its roding display flight which was quite nice. Nevertheless, once it got
light things picked up with a female Schneider’s
Pitta present briefly on the trail which was a surprise as I wasn’t really
looking for it!

A huge flock was mobbing another Sumatran Owlet, including Sunda
and Grey-chinned Minivets, Sumatran Drongo, Blue Nuthatch, Sunda Warbler,
Blyth’s Shrike-babbler and Mountain White-eyes.

Also saw a Black Eagle and had a brief view of
what looked like a Booted Eagle soaring
over the canopy. Other goodies included Sumatran
Trogon, Wreathed Hornbill, the
mega common Fire-tufted Barbet, Pygmy Cupwing, Lesser Shortwing, Sunda Blue
Robin, Shiny and Sumatran Whistling-thrushes and nice
views of Black-capped White-eye.
Then took the afternoon off to
rest and have a hot bucket wash back at the homestay.
