Tiger-Parrot and a Spotted Jewel-babbler for Kings. The main prize went to an amazing male Wattled Ploughbill, which sat in the open for a good 15 minutes allowing unbeatable views. Afternoon around the lodge was disappointing, although Ruth had flight views of a Mountain Owlet-nightjar and Iain caught up with Lesser Melampitta. Some of the group returned to Max’s trail but only Albert saw the calling Spotted Jewel-babbler. More
