We left the Grand Belium Valley & returned to Wamena, where a little surprise awaited me! I was sharing the same hotel as the Yorkshire lads who we out here a similar tour to mine. We had a nice chat catching up on things, but no beer because the bar was totally fake!
Ornate Melidectes.
A really great looking bird.
Baliem Whistler
Superb Bird of Paradise.
In the afternoon we went to a local area near resort for Ornate Melidectes & Superb Bird of Paradise. We had good views of both species.
Rufous bellied Kookaburra.
The next day we flew to Sentani & then drove to the lowland forests of Nimbokrang. This is a Javan trans-migration site where the lowland forest is being steadily depleted but there are some cracking birds to be found.
Yellow-billed Kingfisher
Buff-faced Pygmy Parrot
Spotted Whistling Duck
Twelve Wired Bird of Paradise
King Bird of Paradise
Elusive & hard to see high in the canopy.
Papuan Frogmouth
Marbled Frogmouth.
Papuan Hawk Owl.
