Dear A C 130

Would you mind telling here where did you find the thrushes? It seems that they were on the lower part of a slope.

Thanks

Exactly, you are right.  They all were on the slope.  
About 100m before Picnic Site No. 6, on right hand side, there is a step to the waterside.
I just walked down the steps, looked back at the slope and then found them.
