Our last day of the trip. We spent the first half of the day again up
in the hills. It was nice to get better views of both Rusty and
Rusty-crowned Laughingthrush both endemics. We had only got brief views
of these two earlier in the trip. I also got my last lifer of the trip
here in the form of Dusky Fulvetta, a common enough species but another
real skulker.
We headed back to Taoyuan City and visited the same area of agricultural fields and paddyfields around the international airport that we had visited at the very beginning of the trip. We had a few of the very few winter migrants that we encountered on the trip e.g. Black-faced Bunting, Dusky Warbler and Red-throated Pipits.
In the end I got 90 lifers, 27 of which were 27 endemics. I personally saw a total of 175 species. A big thank you to our Stijn De Win of Birding 2 Asia for a smooth and well put together trip.
