Well, a new attempt to break my own record which stands at 1'102 (2015). Shouldn't be too difficult as I will travel to Ecuador and to Uganda this year. The lists starts (as usual) in India...
Lifers in bold, taxonomy follows IOC.
I had birded the last few days in the Mishmi Hills, a wonderful but also a cold place. Today was a travelling day back from Roing (Arunachal Pradesh) to Tinsukia. As we arrived early we also paid a short visit to the famous Maguri Beel.
