| Remarks : | First sighted two birds on 9/8/2007. As this species is rare in the field, I informed a few of my friends. They went there on 10/8/2007 and saw two birds. On 11/8/2007 there were at least 4 birds. On 12/8/2007 I was there and sighted two birds. On 19/8/2007 I sighted and photographed 1 male bird again. On 22/8/2007 two of my friends were there but sighted no more Pin-tailed Parrotfinches. Yesterday on 26/8/2007 I was there and I
also saw no trace of Pin-tailed Parrotfinch.
With this I make the simple conclusion that this small patch of bamboo seedlings attracted the Pin-tailed Parrotfinch for 2 weeks. - SWCM |
