Paul Holt from his on-going tour of Bhutan

Great weather, a fabulous ground crew, some superb scenery and fascinating cultural insights into this tiny Himalayan Kingdom. To these add a generous dose of outstanding birds such as Satyr Tragopan (we've already seen five), Himalayan Monal (we've enjoyed stupendous looks at no less than seven individuals), Black-tailed Crake, Ibisbill, Sikkim Wedge-billed Babbler, Long-billed Wren-babbler, four different Wallcreepers, and no fewer than 11 Bloodpheasants (an early candidate for bird of the trip; see below for three of them).
