Black-crowned Barwing // Asa-malhada-de-coroa-preta
(Actinodura sodangorum)
Ngoc Linh
Vietnam
Our main target here were the beautiful Red-tailed Laughingthrush. Our first attempt was on arriving day. We visit the hide in the after noon, but it was late, the light was already very poor and were raining a lot.
On next day we arrive here about 7h30 but the rain has had only increased and everything were wet, water and mud everywhere. The guides tryed to open a new improvised trail and we painful walk to the hide with our equipment.
Stubborn and persevering as we are, we didn't give up and we settled down in the middle of the mud and waited. We stayed there for 7 hours without moving (except occasional to go the toilet) with our boots submerged in the mud, our feet (and legs) freezing, our butt hurting, humidity everywhere and the Laugingthrush not showing any sign.
The White-browed Bush-Robin and Coral-billed Scimitar-Babbler did the feast with mealworms.
Then after 4 hours waiting for something new, 3 of these guys show up and stayed with us for about another 3 hours.
Endemic to Laos and Vietnam they only occur on a very few and specific locations.
