flock of 5-6 Coral-billed Scimitar Babblers came through and moved over the road and then further down. Very nice, 3 new photo-lifers in a short while. After lunch we walked the Nature Trail but not much turned up. Black-throated Sunbirds are stationary here. Then we patroled the access road hoping to see some more bird waves. No more flocks but a Little Pied Flycatcher displayed for a short while. Another photo-lifer. My wife found a Radde's Warbler further down the access road. More
