Hongbenghe - 2nd Hide

The walk back up to the cars from the first hide was memorable for a huge flock of Pin-tailed Green-Pigeons, with a few Thick-billed Green-Pigeons present amongst them, and best of all a Spot-winged Starling perched at the top of a massive fruiting tree.

We left here to go a short drive downhill to another hide that was offering Silver-breasted Broadbills and Grey Peacock-Pheasant. It was a longish walk down a steep slope but as soon as we arrived there were a few broadbills already perched right in front of the hide. Unfortunately not everyone had arrived and sure enough the broadbills flew away. We needn’t have worried as an hour later they re-emerged from the forest and spent ages around the feeding station.
