09.00-10.30

I saw the Speckled Piculet again at the same place I saw it previously and  Mike saw it on Sunday about 500m after the temple just before the sharp bend and the steps.

Other birds seen

Black Naped Monarch - male
Red- flanked Bluetail - 2
Blyths Leaf Warbler - 1


In my opinion the best time to look for the Piculet is between 08.00 and 11.00 as the sun shines on the trees at this time.

Unfortunatley no year ticks so I'm still stuck on 349. I have one morning left
