Can you let us know more about the sighting of the Chinese Babax? This would be quite an interesting find for Taipokau! =)

The bird was seen close to where the blue and red trials meet up with the road on the higher end. The trial comes out to the road where there are some houses. Sorry I forget the name of the road. One bird was observed well but I heard some more rustling low down making me think there could have been more individuals but I didn't get a look. Unfortunately, I was unable to get a photograph.
