Spent the past two days with Gerard Gorman author of Woodpeckers of the World and friends. Here's one of the nicer woodies we got during that time, male Crimson-winged Woodpecker.

Rufous Woodpecker (male) from Panti Forest.

The Asian Paradise Flycatchers are still there in wonderful breeding plumage. They've been there over a month now. Must be some type of irruption of this species, there are a number of birds, both males and females. They start calling even before dawn!

Also heard a Helmeted Hornbill on Thu early morning. Great Slaty Woodpeckers were back at the second stream.
