Birdwatching in Bhutan: Bhumthang - Trongsa - Gelephu (April 7, 2012) 1

Very foggy and cold day.  Still good to see wide variety of birds, including Hoary-throated Barwing and Streak-breasted Scimitar-Babbler and Blandford's Rosefinch.

Due to land slide, I was obliged to detour to Gelephu instead of Pele La.

Although the weather was so cold and mainly rainy, it was the greatest birding day among the trip.  Glad to see calling Satyr Tragopans including 3 males,  four pair of Blood Pheasants and a male Rufous-necked Hornbill.
