Leaving at 5am from our hotel we drive a short
distance to a lovely patch of forest from where the unbelievable happens, and a
huge Pere David’s Owl flies over us
and lands on the top of a nearby conifer. We watch this beauty for some 20
minutes as it flies all around us and it even at one point passes low over our
heads, circling us before alighting nearby – stunning views indeed. Needless to
say we were all elated at this sighting and what a way to wrap up the tour. The
rest of the forest was pretty quiet and we could only find some commoner
species, so return to our hotel for a quick shower and to pack before setting off
on the long drive to Chengdu and the end of a fabulous tour.
