Golden-winged Laughingthrush and New birding spots in Kon Tum, Central Highland Vietnam

There are two different spots, you have to stay overnight at a new established town Tu Mo Rong to visit both. From there you can drive to a new road construction leads to Mang Ri commune. Note that the area is very new so security is not guaranteed, however when you arrive spot (see on the map), a lot of things to see. One of the most desired is Golden-winged Laughingthrush although it is not common along the road but you climb a bit to reach 1800m will be easier. Black-crowned Barwing is very common around. Surprisingly Grey-crowned Crocias, which is believed confine to Da Lat area also can be found here.

Birds in Myanmar

This was not a full-time birding trip, my teaching mission for the Wetland Ecology Training Course in Mekong Basin, however I was luckily to stay at the Yezin Agricultural University Guesthouse where surrounded by wood-trees and good habitat for 2 endemics, the Burmese Bushlark and White-throated Babbler. I also had a chance to visit Inle lake where all participants took their field practices/research on wetlands. Here and on the traveling ways, I gain more lifers which were including White-throated Laughingthrus, Blue-throated Barbet, Grey Sibia and especially Jerdon's Bushchat.

Spoon-billed Sandpiper in Mekong delta

I had wanted to see the Spoon-billed Sandpiper for many years. I had been disappointed when I had visited Hong Kong’s Mai Po reserve a few years ago not to see them. As in many other of their former wintering and stop over migration places now, numbers of this species are critically low and development of their mud habitat is such that they are one of the most threatened birds on the planet. There may be less than 300 hundred left, and I so wanted to see one before they became extinct.
