	Accentor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		All but the Dunnock and the Japanese Accentor are inhabitants of the mountainous regions of Europe and Asia; these two also occur in lowland areas, as does the Siberian Accentor in the far north of Siberia.
		However, accentors have thin sharp bills, reflecting their diet of insects in summer, augmented with seeds and berries in winter.

	Tropical Birding tour report Sichuan China April-May 2006
		New birds came in the form of some beady-eyed Maroon-backed Accentors that were particularly common there (double figures were recorded by the end of the day), often seen perched up on dead snags singing their soft, metallic song.
		This was essentially a travel day back to Sichuan's capital, Chengdu, although we could not resist a quick stop on the way back near a high pass, where the snow-dusted spruce forest provided a nice parting gesture.
		A surprise find was one of these handsome accentors found a short time after locating nests of both White-browed Tit and Black-winged (Tibetan) Snowfinch within metres of this bird (not to mention a Chinese Grey Shrike a few minutes before that!!!)- an unforgettable 30 minutes of birding.

	WORLDTWITCH - Birding in Yunnan, Southwest China, by Jon Hornbuckle
		In the afternoon I walked to the lake where there were a few padders such as Garganey, then back to the pumphouse, with singing Siberian Rubythroat on the way, to see Chinese Francolin and Pale-footed Bush-Warbler but no Black-tailed Crake.
		I cut back to the main road from here and across fields to another copse where I saw a singing Siberian Rubythroat.
		At the pass a walk back down the old road might be rewarding, although it will only be through trees and scrub, not true forest.

		After a lunch back in Wolong village we departed for the higher altitudes around the Bei Mu Ping monument (altitude around 3,339m).
		Once out from the plateau we had to travel over another high pass and we quickly left the vehicle when Bob spotted what turned out to be a nesting Tibetan Snowcock by the roadside, that allowed amazing views as it has taken up residence right by the roadside.
		The group that made their way lower down got the best of the luck that day as the looking back up to the summit we could see that it was shrouded in heavy mist, that hampered visibility up there on this day for the group.

		One of the principal aims of the Eaglenest Biodiversity Project is to raise the national and international profile of Eaglenest and attract visitors, both scientists and eco-tourists, to the area.
		In December I had the gratification of observing a couple of would-be hunters turn back on seeing us as 'they did not want to hunt in front of us who have come from such a long distance to study the wildlife of their area'.
		Perhaps that is the first essential step - conveying to the local populace the worth of the globally treasured resource that they happen to be custodians of.

		Those who headed back to hotel early missed it, but two more individuals were seen en route from the vehicle later that day.
		Another highlight around here was a co-operative Brown-breasted Flycatcher in a quaint streamside setting, where a lone Slaty-backed Forktail ended our bad forktail spell that had been characterized by a complete absence of this beautiful genus owing to new trail construction along the lower stretches of the mountain.
		However, a snow storm the following morning pushed many alpine species down by a few hundred meters, and we were all treated to excellent roadside views of one naïve and very tame Snow Partridge as well as two distant Tibetan Snowcock.

		A walk through the forest on a circular route brought us back to the river where we were taken back across and returned to camp for lunch.
		We then went to the Wildlife Rescue centre and enjoyed a nice cup of tea and a chat but we were not allowed to see any of the animals (the staff naturally not wanting them to become accustomed to humans before returning them to the wild).
		We were back at the hotel for 10.30 after another good spot of birding.

	Unique Bird Watching Paradise
		The Bhutanese people have worked hard to stay independent and unexploited, allowing only 5000 tourists within its borders each year, along with restrictions like; groups must be 4 or more and you are only allowed to use a Bhutanese run tour company while in Bhutan with set government prices.
		The integrity of this small country leaves one to wonder if they have actually stepped back in time, living in another era, a true Shangri-La.
		Some birds you'll spot; Spotted Laughing Thrust, Fire-capped Tit, Golden-breasted Fulvetta, Yellow-bellied Flowerpecker and in winter the Maroon-backed Accentor.

		Shillong in Meghalaya was squeezed in at the end of my trip, but allowed me a second chance of finding some specialities missed on a brief visit back in 2001.
		Later we drove back over the Eagle's Nest pass, where there was much low cloud with some drizzle (the general weather pattern for the earlier part of the tour).
		The early morning saw me back on the Old Gauhati Road, where I taped in another immature male Lesser Shortwing, and saw further Red-faced Liocichlas and a Coral-billed Scimitar Babbler.

		We shall spend all morning at Wuyipeng before departing back down the hillside to the more comfortable setting of Sawang.
