After hours of driving, we stop at around
KM22 of Dahsyueshan Boulevard for a break. This stretch of road is actually a favorite spot among birders.
I was awe by the beauty of the blooming and suddenly saw some thing moving swiftly from branch to branch. With the help of my lens, is the Maritime striped squirrel. So cute!
Below the tree are equally interesting. Saw this White-tailed Robin showing off his iconic tail.
Is good to see Steere's liocichla again after so long. The last time I saw it was exactly
10 years ago when I first visited Taiwan.
Among the thick undergrowth, saw this Snowy-browed flycatcher.
Look at the huge bee that fly pass this Taiwan Yuhina. The name Taiwan Yuhina suggest that this is the endemic species of Taiwan.
I spend quite some time waiting for this Morrison's Fulvetta to come to the open with no luck.
Just when the Morrison's Fulvetta fly away, Swinhoe's pheasant appear and steal the limelight.
We slowly make our way to the viewing platform at KM22.5. Green-backed tit was feeding on Idesia fruits. Is the buffet festival for all the birds during this period.
One have to really decide what they want to watch or take photo with. Wave after wave the birds will take turns to feed on this fruiting tree. Saw this Vivid niltava feeding quietly away from the main wave.
This Yellow tit not here for the fruits but looking for other small invertebrates or insect that attracted by the fruits. This tit was halfway feeding on a huge larvae that is still holding on tightly on the tree branch.
I didn't manage to get a good shot of the male. This is the female White-backed woodpecker.
The last bird that we saw is this White-eared sibia before we continue to check in at Visitor Center. Not a bad dessert before the main birding feast at Dasyueshan. ;)
