    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

  15. Markus Lagerqvist

    Name a Bird You've Seen 2

    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

    I have very few New World species left (just 2 out of 212 left in total, and no antpitta...). But I can give you more rufous! #9666 Solomons Rufous Fantail
  17. Markus Lagerqvist

    Name a Bird You've Seen 2

    Sure, have a few more rufousy things, moving on to Cameroon: #9664 Rufous Cisticola

    Nice bird! I don't have any tanagers lift, but I'm happy to keep the rufous theme, just going at tiny bit larger: #9662 Rufous Fishing Owl Seen during an amaxing boat ride meandering through submerged palm trees at Tiwai Island, Sierra Leone.

  20. Markus Lagerqvist

    Name a Bird You've Seen 2

    Wow, great species! One of only five Madagascar endemics I'm still missing. I can give you another species from the same family, but I'll have to go to New Guinea for it: #9656 Chestnut Forest Rail
