	Scimitar babbler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The scimitar babblers are birds in the genera Pomatorhinus, Xiphirhynchus and Jabouilleia of the large Old World babbler family of passerines.
		Scimitar babblers are rangy, medium-sized, floppy-tailed landbirds with soft fluffy plumage.
		Most scimitar babblers are jungle species, difficult to observe in the dense vegetation they prefer, but like other babblers, these are noisy birds, and the characteristic bubbling calls are often the best indication that these birds are present.

		The first were 2 spotted by Bill near our hotel at Paro, with another 3 between Paro and Drukyel Dzong on 19th; 2 on the Thimphu Chhu at Babesa on 20th, 2 at Punakha on 21st and one at Bumthang on 25th.
