Not long back from a memorable trip to the eastern edge of the Western Pal. Chris Bell has produced a report so thought I'd share it here. Any questions just ask!

Cheers, Graeme Joynt

Great report :) I'm glad we're not the only birders who regard copious supplies of beer to be an integral part of any trip!
 
Great report - I'm not really into my WP list (at all!) but sounds like there are some great areas and some top class birds to be bagged. It would be nice if someone could pin down the Swinhoe's Snipes!

cheers, alan

Yeah, we've probably taken it a bit too far now but might as well keep going |;|

Such a tough area to work, with habitat literally as far as the eye can see in all directions - and that's from the top of Mt Kvarkush! The ridge runs a LONG way north of course but you are limited to just a couple of square miles in terms of 'easy' access, unless you are prepared to hike/camp for several days each way.

Cheers, Graeme
