Returned from a LAVA-scious birding trip with Pankaj Gupta covering Neora Valley NP and the famed Algarah Road on the way to Kalimpong , West Bengal.
At 7.30 am on the 9th March (on our way back to Bagdogra) on the Algarah Road .... we were ambushed .... consider ... by a hunting party of .....
Black-eared Shrike-babbler,
Rufous-winged Fulvetta,
Rufous-capped Babbler,
Yellow-throated Fulvetta
Chestnut-crowned Warbler,
Black-faced Warbler,
Golden Babbler,
Rufous vented Yuhina ,
Fire-tailed Sunbird and
Green-tailed Sunbird ... that we could make out ... in the frenzy that ensued.
As we were still grappling with the smallies on the ground ..... an awesome assault was launched from the top .... by the
Scarlet Finch ,
Rusty-fronted Barwing and
the incredible Himalayan Cutia ...... all this in a span of less than 3 minutes.We were dumbstruck by the action and managed to get only record shots of most of them.
The other highlights of the trip are
Rufous-throated Wren babbler,
Tibetan Siskin
Gold-breasted Fulvetta
Nepal Fulvetta
Yellow-cheeked Tit
Grey-cheeked Warbler
Brown Bullfinch
Grey-chinned Minivet

Bay Woodpecker
Brown throated Treecreeper
and witnessed the return migration of a large flock of quacking Bar-Headed Geese over Neora Valley on the 8th March 2014.The total count being 102 in all.
Would like to thank Arka Sarkar for his able guidance of the trip , Bikram Grewal ji and Sumit Sen da for their wonderful trip reports in the Kolkatta Birders ... for reference
