 WORLDTWITCH - Cameroon Birding Trip Report by Ron Hoff
We birded the early morning until about 10, came back to the lodge for breakfast, went birding until about 3, came back for a quick sandwich, and went back out until dark.
As we were going back to the lodge, he stopped and took them to where we saw them.
After breakfast we drove back to Nyasoso, where we stayed at a different guesthouse for the night, as Lucy’s was full with another birding group.

Our day was not yet over and once we had gone back over the river, we went straight to the coach and drove 5 minutes up the road to a metal suspension bridge.
The drive back down was rather bumpy and we all applauded the skills of the drivers who negotiated the tricky corners with exceptional skill.
Back on the main road we had not gone far when we stopped to have a look at a Brown Shrike and a gorgeous Blue-tailed Bee-eater perched next to each other on the telegraph wires.

From our first afternoon of watching a Chestnut-backed Owlet (the 'bird-of-the-trip' for this group) through to the last 'mopping-up' of birds like the scarce Kashmir Flycatcher, we basked in lovely weather and enjoyed a very productive and enjoyable break from the cold northern winter.
Further explorations around Kitulgala brought bounties of the endemic Brown-capped Babbler, a feeding flock with a splendid white male Asian Paradise Flycatcher, White-bellied and the endemic ('Crested Drongo') form of Greater Racket-tailed Drongos, Southern Hill Myna, Black-hooded Orioles and a Lesser Yellownape.
As a consequence of our success, our route back towards the coast was gentle, with explorations of the Temple of the Tooth at Kandy, plus tours around a Tea-estate and a Spice-garden.

At the Sinharaja Park HQ at Kudawa we were told that Chestnut-backed Owlet was a regular in the village around 6.00pm.
Had tea and roti in the cafe, walked back along the road and down a track which went off to the left.
With such expert assistance we could hardly fail to find the bird and although it did not show initially, despite responding well to tape, we eventually had excellent views of a bird at close quarters (6.50am).
