		Overall, the quality of the images (many of which are in the hand) on my monitor was superb.
		Highlights for me included the tiny Rufous Piculet, barely bigger than the thumb next to it, the vividly coloured Rail babbler, and the Giant Pitta which seemed to be about to leap out of the monitor at me! There are some interesting recordings too.
		Listen to the Taiwan Shortwing to see why this one is a potential split, or the Bar-bellied Pitta to whet your appetite for a trip to Indochina!

		Our extraordinary Caribbean island birding saga commenced with sightings of the enigmatic Palmchat, sole representative of an endemic family, from our hotel grounds in Santo Domingo—and the fun did not end until our final departure from San Juan ten days later.
		Within 24 hours of our arrival, we had recorded no less than nine Hispaniolan endemics including Broad-billed Tody, Antillean Piculet (a monotypic genus), and the second smallest hummingbird in the world, Vervain.
		Bay-breasted and Hispaniolan Lizard-Cuckoo were seen at the lower altitudes on our first visit to Bahoruco National Park.

		A few hours later, as we were about to reach our parked vehicles we saw the male fl and crimson oriole and only then did we check our guide books to confirm that the fl bird we saw earlier must be the female.
		Other than the cuckoo-shrikes, laughing-thrushes, barbets and the cuckoo doves, a lifer for many in the group was the sighting of a Speckled Piculet pecking away at a rotting branch nonchalantly despite the loud chatter of the group milling below, hardly 25 feet away.
