Blue-shouldered Robin-Chat (for some) to our list, but the most noteworthy sighting was White-spotted Flufftail, which the more eager-eyed of the group managed to spot calling from the forest floor. Our arrival at Ruhija was met with a flurry of activity, and we notched up Chestnut-throated Apalis and Stripe-breasted Tit before dashing indoors for lunch.
