Cheers John! Collared Bush Robins are quite common at Dasyueshan and it's a good place for most of the island's endemics, a very handsome bird indeed and one of my favourite too.

Cheers Ken! Yu Shan is relatively under birded by visiting birders I think, but no doubt will hold similar species. We chose Dasyueshan and Sun-Link-Sea area base on the accessibility of the location. Will no doubt like to visit other areas in the near future.
