Birdwatching in Bhutan: Gelephu - Wandue Phodorang (8 April, 2012)

Great view of Rufous-necked Hornbill.  Nice to see lowland forest birds, such as Golden-fronted Leafbird.

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.
