About 30 joined the outing on Christmas day. Birds were quite difficult to see, but most of us saw the Pygmy Wren Babbler on a small rocky stream bed. Great Barbet calling from far up the hill is a present surprise. By the end of the outing, the flock at the butterfly garden include some Minivets and a Cuckooshrike offer some excitment. 37 species all together. By the way, anybody saw Ashy Drongo? I have not put that down.
