The lodge and local community have a no hunting/trapping policy in place, local bird populations are increasing and as a result it has a birdy feel. Highlights in these first two hours included Grey-cheeked Green Pigeon, Freckle-breasted Woodpecker, Olive-backed Tailorbird, Orange-bellied Flowerpecker, Short-tailed Starling, Scarlet Minivet, and Olive-backed Sunbird , all birds I was to see throughout the day. Birds which I only saw this once during the trip comprised Asian Emerald Dove, Common Flameback, and Oriental Magpie Robin.After breakfast we went on an interesting walk to the local temple, Pura Luhur Muncaksari. Pasing through various wooded mixed fruit plantations added Flame-fronted Barbet, Bar-winged Prinia and Crescent-chested Babbler, the latter only seen here, and overhead Black Eagle and Brown-backed Needletail to my Bali list.Although I spent another couple of hours birding the lodge gardens before sunset, this did not add anything new.Paul</blockquote>
