Birdwatching in Northern Vietnam, Cuc Phoung National Park (30-31 March, 2013)

First time for me to do birding in Vietnam.  I enjoyed birding in Cuc Phoung National Park with great view of Bar-bellied Pitta, Limestone Wren Babbler and Ratchet-tailed Treepie.  Also, had a nice time for photographing Hainan Blue Flycatcher.
