gorgeous Painted Quail-thrush and Blue Jewel-Babbler, and five bird of paradise species. This is the most complementary of the three recommended Arfak extensions in terms of species diversity. Its distinction from the next destination primarily lies in the presence here of such tantalizing extreme lowland specialists as the delightful Western Crowned-Pigeon and not-to-be-missed King Bird of Paradise, forest birds which do not normally venture above 300 m elevation.

Vulturine Parrot, White-bibbed Ground-Dove, Blue Jewel-babbler, Pinon Imperial-Pigeon, a displaying Trumpet Manucode and more Greater Birds-of-Paradise. We returned to the hotel for an early lunch, and set-off on the Fly River at 1.30 bound for Ekame Lodge, situated on the banks of the Elevala River. The three hour journey was rather quiet although we did see a Great-billed Heron and a crocodile. We birded at the lodge till dark, seeing a rare pair of Yellow-eyed Starlings, our only Ornate Fruit-Dove and Golden Cuckoo-shrike. More

a 'crippling' Blue Jewel-babbler crept into our tape revealing his all-blue plumage and pristine white throat as he slinked through the close undergrowth. Other morning highlights included a perched up Hook-billed Kingfisher for one lucky observer in the right position; it's a commonly heard species in the lowlands, but is downright difficult to see. The noisy Rufous-bellied Kookaburra responded better and perched up in plain sight right above all of us. More

lowland eastern form of Blue Jewel-babbler Ptilorrhoa caerulescens has been elevated to species level, as Dimorphic Jewel-babbler P. geislerorum. The three races of Shrike-tit, thought by many Australian birders to represent different species, are treated as one in HBW, and placed with the whistlers in the family Pacycephalidae, as are three other species with rather uncertain affinities, the Goldenface (Dwarf Whistler: Pachycare flavogrisea), Wattled Ploughbill (Eulacestoma nigropectus) and Crested Bellbird (Oreoica gutturalis).
