Papuan birder
- Lost in the Pacific -
I just read on the OBC server that another bird has luckily just been rediscovered, this time its the White-speckled Laughingthrush Garrulax bieti which has been re-found in southern China, this species was rediscovered by a group of birders in early May 2008.
if I recall right it hadent been seen since sometime in the 1980s before and there was some fears that no habitat was remaning raised by James Eaton here on the forum sometime ago, the famous Ben King last saw it and recorded its song in 1989 and which has provived great help for the team that rediscovered the bird. So, this species was vanished for nearly 20 years.
Anyone know where I can find some photographs of this bird? must have at least been some taken, or?
