Panbari Forest


Location: less than one hour drive east of Kohora.

Costs: -

Date(s): 4-12-2002 (8 birding hours), 6-12-2002 (4 hours)

Notes: Panbari Forest is a nice but rather degraded forest. Birding is pretty difficult in the dense shrubbery. The first day we kept having problems with Elephants, causing us to be able to bird only at the edges of the forest. The second day Panbari (6-12) we checked another area called Modarjuri, a bit more to the east. This area was even better for birds, with many of the same species but easier to find and some birds only seen here.

Highlights: Crested Goshawk (1), Pied Falconet (1, in Modarjuri), Great Hornbill (2), Speckled Piculet (1, in Modarjuri), Inornate Warbler (1), Slaty-bellied Tesia (V), Rufous-gorgeted Flycatcher (2), Crow-billed Drongo (2).

Pics:

An impression of Panbari Forest: dense en much secondary growth. Pretty hard to find birds here. But no reason to skip this area.
A butterfly of the Nymphalidae type, apparently a kind of admiral.
