A lot of good birds with a couple of star highlights.Blackthroat - one possibly two males seen in the same area that Summer Wong recorded them last year - <a href="http://www.birdforum.net/showpost.php?p=3229856&postcount=1" target="_blank">http://www.birdforum.net/showpost.php?p=3229856&postcount=1</a>Blue-fronted Robin - great views of a singing bird in the Moxi area. At least 3 birds were singing at the siteOther interesting birds - Sichuan Jay at 3 sites - Baxi/Jiuzhaigou.A pair of Pink-tailed Finches were easy to find at Ruoergai - where we also found a nesting Isabelline Wheatear. 2 pairs of Monal at Balang. Himalayan Forest Thrush found both at Longcanggou and Balang. A single Black-bibbed Tit outside the park at Jiuzhaigou.Site news - despite the development, Longcanggou is still open and gives good birds - but it's very muddy when going up to the top of the track.Attached is a sound recording of the Blackthroat, with an excited Andy Mears chipping in at the end of the cut.</blockquote>
