Hongbenghe 3rd Hide

We then left and went to the third hide of the day with Rufous-backed SibiaSpot-breasted LaughingthrushGrey-sided Laughingthrush and the much-wanted Grey Peacock-Pheasant being the key targets. All showed well but the peacock-pheasant left it to the last possible second to appear and just as we were about to leave at 6.15pm.
