19 DECEMBER 2003 - 4 JANUARY 2004 TOUR REPORT LEADER: DAVE FARROW GROUP MEMBERS: DEREK EVANS, RAINER KOPA, CLIFF POLLARD and THOMAS REBER. The second-ever Birdquest to Burma ran exceptionally smoothly, with a terrific selection of birds enjoyed in what is a very exciting country for birding. We found all of the Burmese endemics, and we added a huge number of birds to the list, all part of the expeditionary feel of this trip to this little known part of the world, clad as it is in forest of all different types. We scored a total of 310 species, which included a stunning male Mrs Hume?s Pheasant that came to investigate us from a range of six metres (our ?bird-of-the-trip!?), Rain Quail, five species of Parakeet (a real stronghold for the family here), Hodgson?s Frogmouths calling from the dark forest, stunning Pied Harrier and White-eyed Buzzards, two males of the scarce White-rumped Falcon, the elusive endemic Hooded Treepie, eight species of Minivet including the Burmese form of White-bellied, Scaly and Grey-sided Thrushes, four species of Nuthatch including the endemic White-browed (and we could have reached five species!), Black-bibbed and Black-browed Tit, Crested Finchbill, a whole host of warblers that included the bamboo-loving Broad-billed, an exotic mixture of six species Laughingthrushes including the restricted range Striped and Brown-capped, and a profusion of babblers that included Red-faced Liocichla, Spot-breasted and Coral-billed Scimitar Babblers, Scaly-breasted and Long-tailed Wren Babblers, the handsome endemic White-throated Babbler, Chinese Babax, Cutia, Rusty-fronted and Streak-throated Barwings, Grey Sibia and Spot-breasted Parrotbill. Plus the endemic Burmese Bushlark, five Flowerpeckers and seven Sunbirds, it all adds up to very handsome list indeed. We arrived in the glorious sunshine of Yangon and made a gentle start to our birding, with a visit to the stunning golden spires of the Shwedagon pagoda. House Swifts tittered around in agile flocks and a Peregrine languidly circled the glistening pinnacle before landing there. We took an early flight to Bagan, famous for its huge acreage of old pagodas on the banks of the Irrawaddy river. We excitedly started our birding near the airport, where we saw our first Green Bee-eaters while waiting for our luggage, and a little way down the road found a male Pied Harrier, Tickell?s Warblers, and a flock of Vinous-breasted Starlings that crowded across the road. As we checked in to our hotel, we were welcomed by White-throated Babblers trilling away by our bungalows. We ventured onto the banks of the mighty Irrawaddy, where we found Burmese Spot-billed Ducks and Ruddy Shelducks, Small Pratincole, Sand Larks scuttling across the sandbars amid numerous Little Ringed and Kentish Plovers, and in the bushes we found Radde?s and Thick-billed Warblers and a family of Spotted Owlets. We took to the river for an afternoon, and as we chugged our way across the tranquil silvery water, we found Temminck?s Stint and Grey Plovers, and forays onto shore produced Richard?s and Red-throated Pipits, Bluethroat and Oriental Skylarks, while hundreds of Yellow Wagtails flew in to roost. The early morning in this arid land dotted with acacia bushes was enchanting, as the first rays of the Burmese sun caught the brown towers of dozens of ancient pagodas, Burmese Bushlarks sang from prominent perches and the bushes came alive with Burmese Shrikes, Yellow-eyed Babblers, Brown Prinia, Siberian Rubythroat and Plain-backed Sparrow. More exploration of this area found both Rain Quail and Barred Buttonquail hiding in the tangled weeds, plus Shikra, Purple Sunbirds, Blue Rock Thrush, Wryneck and wintering Yellow-streaked Warblers. With a little time for some golden Buddhas and a local lunch, we were all set for our journey westwards. An early start put us onto the west bank in dry scrubby forest at dawn, where at our roadside breakfast halt we saw Black-naped Oriole, Yellow-footed Green Pigeons crowding into a fruiting tree, and Chestnut-capped Babblers called loudly from the undergrowth. Walking the dirt roads here (with their almost complete absence of traffic) makes for good birding, and the trees were alive with typical South-east Asian birds such as Scarlet-backed Flowerpeckers and Streak-eared Bulbuls. Our quarry here was that elusive fellow, the endemic Hooded Treepie. We found one, although he didn?t want to stay for more than a few minutes, but a supporting cast of Common Flameback, Greater and Lesser Necklaced Laughingthrushes and Blue-throated Flycatcher kept us entertained. Pushing on towards our night stop near Kazunma, we found four delightful White-bellied Minivets by the road, surely not the same species as the one in India, and this taxon can surely be added to the growing list of Burmese endemics. Making excursions from our comfortable bungalow at the Salin Dam, we explored the dry forests of the area which revealed Alexandrine, Grey-headed and Red-breasted Parakeets, White-bellied, Grey-capped, Streak-throated and Yellow-crowned Woodpeckers, Large Cuckooshrike, Brown Prinia and Yellow-vented Flowerpeckers. A White-rumped Falcon put in a brief appearance, and in the heat of the afternoon we took a boat onto the reservoir and scoured the shores and lakeside forest, finding Stork-billed Kingfishers, Woolly-necked Stork, Little Heron, Oriental Darter and our first Blossom-headed Parakeet. Moving west once again, the first vehicle flushed Indian Nightjar from the dusty road, and the second had some good luck with another White-rumped Falcon, perched in a dead tree. Regrouping in some lowland forest, we found Red-billed Blue Magpie, a pair of Kalij Pheasants that scuttled away in the leaf litter, White-browed Piculets, Brown-cheeked Fulvettas, Daurian Redstart and Striped Tit Babbler. Reaching the long ridge that leads up to the summit of Mt Victoria at 3053m, we paused in some dry dipterocarp forest and found a pair of Collared Falconets plus Rufescent Prinias, before reaching the Chin Village resort, our home for the next five nights sitting astride the ridge at an altitude of 1700m. The main focus of this tour is the Chin Hills, which hosts many Himalayan species but most importantly it is the home of the endemic White-browed Nuthatch, only found on Mt Victoria and its adjoining ridges. So our first task here was to go and find it, and our first morning on the mountain started near the top, in rich evergreen forests bathed in the cold sunshine. Brown-capped Laughingthrushes called loudly and hopped through the bushes and Grey Sibias introduced themselves noisily. The Nuthatches appeared right on cue, feeding high in the old trees and giving us a good show. A great start to our birding here, so we continued exploring the higher zones and found Yellow-browed Tits, Orange-flanked Bush Robins, Brown-throated and Bar-tailed Treecreepers, Streak-throated and Rusty-fronted Barwings, Streak-breasted Scimitar Babbler, Scaly-breasted Wren Babbler, and a lively flock of Grey-sided Thrushes with a few Eye-broweds thrown in. We added Rufous-gorgetted Flycatcher, abundant Buff-barred Warblers, Chestnut-tailed Minla and White-browed Fulvetta. In more open areas with stands of pine trees we found Yellow-billed Blue Magpie, Chestnut-bellied Rock Thrush, Rufous-bellied Woodpeckers, Slender-billed Oriole and Black-bibbed Tits. We spread our birding over the different altitudes and forest zones of the area, and found further thrills in the tiny, noisy Long-tailed Wren Babbler, Great, Golden-throated and Blue-throated Barbets, Ashy Woodpigeon, Wedge-tailed Green Pigeon, Grey-chinned and Short-billed Minivet, more Nuthatches in the shape of White-tailed and Chestnut-venteds, Black-throated and Black-browed Tits, Ashy, Striated and Mountain Bulbul, Large Niltava, Slaty-backed Flycatcher, Scaly Thrush, Chestnut-flanked White-eye, Chestnut-headed Tesia, Buff-throated, Ashy-throated and Grey-hooded Warblers, Blue-winged and Red-tailed Minlas, Black-eared and White-browed Shrike Babblers, Cutia, Golden Babbler and Yellow-bellied Flowerpecker, plus the ?piece de resistance? - a male Mrs. Hume?s Pheasant that sneaked away through the undergrowth. Thought to be lost after a brief view, the gamble of crunching our way into the forest in pursuit paid off handsomely. Perhaps curious about the noise of our ingress, the bird decided to come and investigate, appearing on a log just six metres away from us, where it sat for ten minutes until we shooed it away! Fantastic! Scrubby and grassy areas hosted Flavescent Bulbul, Red-faced Liocichla, Bay and Crimson-breasted Woodpeckers, Crested Finchbill, Rufous-winged and Nepal Fulvetta, Spot-breasted Parrotbill, Chestnut and Little Buntings. Nocturnal explorations found a number of Hodgson?s Frogmouths, but they didn?t want to play on a chilly winter night. A final flurry on our last morning included a great encounter with a pair of Striped Laughingthrushes preening themselves in the sun, Brownish-flanked Bush Warbler, Silver-eared Mesia, White-bellied Redstart and Mrs Gould?s Sunbird. We descended once more to the lowlands, and before ascending the parallel forested ridge to Mindat, we birded some lowland forest where we found Velvet-fronted Nuthatch, Black-winged Cuckooshrike, Lesser Racket-tailed Drongo, Streaked Spiderhunter, Yellow-bellied Warbler, Green Imperial Pigeon and some very pleasing Blossom-headed Parakeets. Our lodgings at Mindat were the most spartan of the tour, yet we were admirably catered for by Tony?s team of cooks and helpers, another part of their excellently organised operation. Positioned within the habitat once again, we explored some superbly lush and varied forests, finding some very entertaining Chinese Babax, Chestnut-crowned Laughingthrushes, an errant Northern Goshawk, furtive Red-faced Liocichlas, a cocky Scaly-breasted Wren Babbler, Barred Cuckoo Doves, and a very bold Kalij Pheasant that strolled down the road ahead of us in the sunshine. Further explorations yielded Spot-breasted and an exciting Coral-billed Scimitar Babbler, Aberrant Bush Warbler and Hill Prinia, and both Slender-billed Scimitar Babbler and Blue-winged Laughingthrush called from the thickets but never revealed themselves. On the day we departed, we had a great start when a superb Leopard Cat trotted down the road in front of us, returning into full view to investigate loud squeaking coming from our cars! A morning?s birding in the lowland forest was exciting, with mixed bird-flocks holding Rosy and Ashy Minivets, Ruby-cheeked and Crimson Sunbirds, a male Little Pied Flycatcher, Greater Flameback and Yellownapes, Grey-headed Woodpecker and exquisite Black-hooded Orioles. As we approached the Irrawaddy, two White-eyed Buzzards put on a show, and we became reacquainted with Burmese Bushlark and White-throated Babbler once again. Pausing only briefly in the luxurious hotel at Bagan, we jetted back to Yangon. Before it was time to depart this excellent country, we did a little more birding in Hlawga Park finding Chestnut-headed and Blue-tailed Bee-eaters, Cotton Pygmy Geese, Lesser Whistling Duck, Osprey and Changeable Hawk Eagles. As we headed our separate ways, we were all invigorated by this Burmese birding experience. We?d seen some terrific birds, and had a very comfortable trip to the Chin Hills and the Irrawaddy River. Visiting this sleepy country will continue to get easier, thanks in part to the excellent service provided by our local agent, and this is a great trip for anyone looking for a little-known but very worthwhile destination.
