Valkenburg LEADER: MACHIEL VALKENBURG LIST COMPILED BY: MACHIEL VALKENBURG VICTOR EMANUEL NATURE TOURS, INC. 2525 WALLINGWOOD DRIVE, SUITE 1003 AUSTIN, TEXAS 78746 WWW.VENTBIRD.COM BHUTAN March 26–April 14, 2019 By Machiel Valkenburg Our annual adventure to Bhutan started in Delhi, where we all came together for the flight to Paro in Bhutan. The birding here started immediately outside of the airport parking lot, finding the wonderful Ibisbill, which we quickly located in the wide stream along the airport road. It seemed to be a cold spring, with quite an amount of snow still on the surrounding peaks. Our visit to the Cheli La (La means pass) was good for some new surprises like Snow Pigeon and Alpine Accentor. We found Himalayan White- browed Rosefinch feeding in an alpine meadow, and then suddenly two Himalayan Monals appeared and showed very well. Here we were happy with extra sightings of Blood Pheasant, Black Eagle, Blue-fronted Redstart, and Yellow-billed Blue-Magpie. After Paro, we started our journey east with a drive to Thimphu and Punakha, visiting Dochu La and Tashitang along the way. The birding in these places is nothing but spectacular with great sightings constantly. These lush green valleys are very photogenic, and many stops were made to take in all the landscapes. The birding was good here with excellent sightings of a crossing Hill Partridge, some exquisite Ultramarine Flycatchers, a close overhead Rufous-bellied Eagle, a surprise sighting of a day- roosting Tawny Fish-Owl, and some wonderful scope views of a party of Gray Treepies.

We drove 10 minutes to our nearby Airport Garden Hotel to spend our first night. After settling into the hotel and having lunch, our afternoon plan was to do the boat ride in the Muthurawela which is a mangrove eco-system but we decided to postpone the boat ride to the last day due to heavy rain, and drive back to the hotel for dinner where I did the briefing for the following day. Day 2 Monday 25th March After breakfast we made our way north to our next destination, Sigiriya. After a short distance we stopped at an abundant paddy field to see a pair of Blue-tailed Bee-eaters and a wealth of wetland species including various Herons and Egrets. Though this is a botanical tour, the group was very interested in birding and other wildlife as well. Just after the rain lots of Butterflies started to migrate. Thousands of Common Emigrants and Albatross took part in this migration following the direction of the wind. During the drive we passed different natural habitats and some man-made habitats, like rice fields, coconut plantations and gardens.
