    For this one our three person team had to spend a freezing, windy night in a small two-person tent, with no mattresses on an exposed, stony mountainside. Didn't get much sleep, but was all worth it for this very yellow bird: #9682 Karthala White-eye

    Adding another species with an eye-ring, seen on the tiny Duchess Islet east of New Guinea. We had to find it quickly and leave in a hurry with a storm approaching, making for a scary and very wet boat ride back to Normanby island: #9680 Louisiade White-eye

    Well, that one was on my list ;) But I'm fine with chestnut as a color - especially with a really handsome laugher (actually more rufous ears though...)! #9668 Chestnut-eared Laughingthrush
