[QUOTE="halftwo, post: 1800294, member: 45720"] [b]Mystery Solved[/b] Thanks Joanne, Ads, Patrick, John. Down on the "Pitta Trail" again today - which will be re-named, as I now know what I flushed first day. Creeping down as slowly & quietly as possible when two birds got up & disappeared for some time, I got nothing on them at all. These turned out to be a pair of Long-tailed broadbills: green backed & blue tails: I think one was what got up & which I thought could have been a pitta. However, after another half hour in which I made about ten yards in silence, something bade me look left; I've no idea why: nothing had moved. Dense bamboo: tiny slivers of sight. I focussed the bins through until, at about thirty yards I suddenly had an owl staring straight at me! A Collared owlet was motionless and just visible through a tiny gap - yellow irises pointed my way! After that a few repeat birds until the Broadbills decided to show & the penny dropped. But the morning wasn't quite done... [/QUOTE]
