Sat Tal


Location: 15 km south of Nainital (2 hours).

Costs: -

Date(s): 27-11-2002 (7 birding hours).

Notes: We birded in two locations. An early morning start at the fenced off fields location and the rest of the day in the forests. We started at the tea stall near Sat Tal Estate and walked to the tea stalls south of the large lake. We walked the road back to Sat Tal Estate. Birding from the tea stall to the Christian Ashram was slow. Things started to get interesting when we entered the mixed forest near the northern lake.

Highlights: Great Barbet (1), Greater Yellownape (1), Black-throated Accentor (2 in the ‘Accentor fields’), Rufous-breasted Accentor (V in the Accentor fields), Tickel’s Thrush (V, the only sighting of our trip), Rusty-cheeked Scimitar-Babbler (1 very elusive bird in the Accentor fields), Red-billed Blue Magpie (X in the morning birds were flying on and off over the Accentor field, at least 10 individuals, maybe more)
