Pittas in Cuc Phuong


Dear all,

I was sitting in front of the screen for long, i took a break and brought out my camera and hide to forest. Driving along the main road to Bong substation for some Thrushes as Scaly, White, Black-breasted, Grey-backed, Japanese; Fujian Nitava; Red-flanked Bluetail, Red-vented Barbet...Then i disappeared into forest till afternoon i found a spot where we could see and take picture of Blue-rumped and Bar-bellied Pitta. The day after, i tried for Eared Pitta and i got shot too. Finally, i found 2 places to see and take picture of three pitta species in Cuc Phuong.






Cheers!
