[QUOTE="Larry Sweetland, post: 1156313, member: 27337"] [b]Kuang Xi[/b] Kuang Xi Waterfall is a popular tourist spot 25km from Luang Phabang. We stayed one night at the cheaper of the two guesthouses there, which is on the left just before arriving at the village. Mornings are very quiet but hordes of people arrive just before midday to see the very picturesque falls and surroundings. The main lure this place had for me were the words Pale, Blue, and Flycatcher in Paul's report. We failed to find this species, but I caught up with another long sought-for bird, [B]White-browed Piculet[/B], a truly amazing little creature. The other unexpected highlight was great views of two female [B]Asian Emerald Cuckoos[/B], another species far smaller than most of it's family members. [B]Blue-throated Barbet [/B] and [B]Brown-cheeked Fulvetta[/B] were also new for the trip, with some of the latter feeding newly fledged young. Other birds seen there included [B]Hainan Blue[/B] (2), [B]Asian Brown[/B], and [B]Grey-headed Canary Flycatchers[/B], [B]Blue Whistling-Thrush[/B] (collecting nest material), [B]Blue Rock Thrush[/B], [B]Plumbeous Redstart[/B], [B]Yellow-browed[/B] and [B]Blyth's Leaf Warblers[/B],[B] Striped Tit-Babbler[/B], [B]Stripe-throated, Black-crested, Red-whiskered[/B] and [B]Sooty-headed Bulbuls[/B], [B]Asian Barred Owlet[/B],[B] Asian Palm Swift[/B], [B]Tree Sparrow[/B], [B]Crimson Sunbird[/B], [B]Little Spiderhunter[/B], [B]Scarlet-backed Flowerpecker [/B],[B]Shikra[/B], and [B]Grey Wagtail[/B]. 591[B] WHITE-BROWED PICULET[/B] 592 Brown-cheeked Fulvetta 593 Asian Emerald Cuckoo 594 Blue-throated Barbet struggling a bit here to get to 600 for the trip !
