10,000 Birds

JANUARY 12, 2024

In 2023 I attempted to keep a year list of mammal encounters: the list barely exceeded 20 species, while it became complicated by seeing bats and voles that I was unable to name specifically. Why not the stoat family or the badger family?) As someone who likes to name everything I see, I found this frustrating.

Vipers dominated, as well as some smaller snakes, but we also found a Sunda Stink-badger and a sleeping Hooded Pitta. Best of all the lodge also set out a large white board with lights on, which attracted lots of insects and in turn bats. Best of all, the guide moved on quickly from things like the pitta rather than disturb it.
