We returned to the same track and it was raining again,
although not too heavily. Just up the track was another group that had arrived
yesterday. Both groups merged at times as we walked up and down the track.

| Black Butcherbird |
We
started with Chestnut-breasted Cuckoo, Black Butcherbird and then the main target: Carola’s
Parotia – females, young males and the occasional adult male showing on and off
throughout the morning. Other BoPs seen were several female Magnificent and a
Crinkle-collared Manucode.
 |
| Orange-breasted Fig-Parrots |
Parrots were common with high-flying flocks of
Blue-collared and perched Red-breasted Pygmy-Parrot and Orange-breasted
Fig-Parrot. Over lunch time Orange-bellied Hanging Parrots were around the
hotel. The rain continued all afternoon back at OK Menga with Papuan Black
Myzomela being the only new bird.

| Leio and local tourism chief |
We were met by the local tourism chief who welcomed us to the area; he seemed like a good guy as he was also familiar with the local birds.
