Caught a ridiculously
early flight from Bangkok to Taipei, picked up a hire car and drove halfway
down Taiwan to an area in the mountains around the town of Lushan and before I
collapsed from tiredness I managed a couple
of hours birding round the town and up the river to the hot springs where the
highlights included a cracking LITTLE
FORKTAIL on the river, quite a few smart PLUMBEOUS REDSTARTS, a single female DAURIAN REDSTART, several flocks of the endemic TAIWAN YUHINA, a flock of smart and also
endemic WHITE-EARED SIBIA, a pair of
GREEN-BACKED TITS, several noisy
flocks of BLACK BULBULS and a big
flock of ASIAN HOUSE MARTINS over
the valley.
Other birds included a pair of AMUR WAGTAILS, a couple of Grey Wagtails and a few Pacific
Swallows.
