Excellent day for a walk. About 50 participate in today's outing. We miss the Hoopoe, but some other birdwatcher got it. Our best birds are a Eurasian Skylark and a Citrine Wagtail. I also heard the familiar call of Hodgson's Hawk Cuckoo, the familiar two-note call repeated several times. Thanks to An Chai and Topi for helping to prepare the list.
