Apologies for not updating the Bhutan blog for a while. New entries coming soon.
We had a long weekend in Suffolk last weekend. A very obliging Bittern was the highlight.

An early start was impossible as low cloud cut visibility to almost zero.
When we start an interesting building is decorated with Druk beer bottles. Must have been a good evening as this stuff is “Guaranteed to be no more than 8% by volume”.

After our late night arrival we woke to good views over the local monastery.

We moved to through more forest heading for the town of Trashigang. The light on the green trees is wonderful.

The highlight of today was undoubtedly the brief views of Ward’s Trogon. Brief=no photos by me.
We walked down into a patch of forest and as we arrived in the clearing our local guide grabbed my arm and pointed. I peered into the distance when I realised that no more than 20 yds away was a male Trogon with his wonderful pink and brown plumage. He flew off shortly afterwards.
