Pakistan for Long-billed Bush-Warbler, June 2023 (1 Viewer)

A bit late with this one but at least I wrote a report.

Anyways, Andrew Spencer was wrapping up a long trip in Central Asia with a quick visit to Pakistan and the timing worked for me so off we went. We both loved it and it was honestly logistically quite an easy trip and the birding, food, and people were awesome.

A (typical for me) short, pictureless, but GPS / logistics focused trip report is now up on Cloudbirders:

Hopefully it helps someone out there

Interesting report. Back in 1997 on a trekking/climbing trip I found a long-billed bush warbler in the Hushe valley to the east of Skardu. The habitat it was in sounds identical, suggesting it may be more widespread but obviously hugely under reported.

I suspect this to be the case Rob but as well I guess it’s total population is probably not very large… hopefully though it gets found in more and more places.
