It's always a pleasure to visit this well maintained oasis and today's visit was no exception. The winter altidudinal migrants were evident with both Spotted Ground-thrush and White-starred Robin being seen. Green Malkoha gave fleeting glimpses for the lucky few and a Brown-backed Honeybird at the Enviro Centre was nice to see. Gorgeous Bush-shrike and Scaly-throated Honeyguide could be heard calling, but failed to show themselves.
