Birders however are not deterred by a touch of inclement weather...up and out at 05:30 and back up the mountain! Adding to the rain was a good amount of mist.....you could hardly see past the end of your nose! Glum faces were heartened by the call of breakfast alfresco....under the porch of the visitors centre...fresh filter coffee, cereal, bread and jam...not forgetting the obligatory hard boiled egg. I also get my own coffee cup for the trip!
Despite the weather we bagged some excellent lifers...Mikado Pheasant, Collared Bush Robin, Flamecrest. The rain eventually subsided and we walked some misty trails....adding more ticks to the list! All in all a very good day.
The montane forest is wonderful and as the mist subsided the views are beautiful!
