INDIA Day 9 - 17th January


Spent the morning back down in our newly discovered valley where the highlights were again awesome views of probably two male Golden Bush Robins, the male Himalayan Rubythroat, at least five Black-throated Accentors and two Rufous-breasted Accentors.   A good selection of new birds were also seen which included good views of a CHESTNUT-HEADED TESIA (an incredibly ridiculous bird – tiny, bright coloured with no tail, hopping around at your feet!), a male CHESTNUT-EARED BUNTING, a male GREY-WINGED BLACKBIRD, a gloriously named ABERRENT BUSH WARBLER, a GREY-SIDED BUSH WARBLER, a GREY-CROWNED PYGMY WOODPECKER, a RUSTY-CHEEKED SCIMITAR BABBLER, a few Black Francolin, Scaly-breasted Munia and a few Rock Buntings.

                We then left at lunchtime to drive a few hours over to Corbett NP to arrive after dark.
