Zixishan Forest Park, Chuxiong 楚雄紫溪山森林公園
I visited this forest park to look for my target - Giant Nuthatch. Unfortunately when I got there, the whole area was covered with thick mist and sometimes it was raining too. What was even worse, power supply was suspended due to damage to power cables by heavy snow. Therefore I just stayed in a Buddhist temple there overnight and did not go into the forest. BTW, I would come back in summer as the forest is a mature one and I think may yield good finds in birding.
Here are a few photos I took around the temple in the mist :

It's nice to see some fine Yunnan birds !

BTW: I think your "Rusty-capped Fulvetta" is Spectacled Fulvetta.

John, thank you for your correction. It appears the picture of Spectacled Fulvetta as shown in "A Field Guide to the Birds of China" is not very accurate.
I just checked into "Oriental Bird Images" & noted your 2 photos taken in 2005 at the same place.
