About Me

Thimphu, Thimphu, Bhutan
I am from Bhutan. Bhutan has some of the most pristine habitat and most beautiful birds in the world. I have been birding and exploring my country’s varied ecosystems now for over10 years. I have spent many days and weeks locating the best places to find the rare species including all of the difficult wren-babblers, laughing thrushes and other important species for Bhutan. I am also specializes in recording, and have a large library, including songs donated to Cornell University and xeno-canto. I have led many birding groups, and have long years experience finding and helping birders see their target species. I also have a good knowledge of our culture, and add this dimension to my tours based on the desires of my clients.

CROSS-COUNTRY BIRDING
I am almost coming to an end to my crossing country birding tour with 5 customers and Josh, foreign birding guide with whom I have worked successful for the past few years.
We have started from the Samdrup Jongkhar south east of the country on 2nd April 2011 and going to finish in Paro western parts of Bhutan on 22nd. We did very well in the past but this year is exceptionally going well. So far we have already crossed 200 species. This year we have seem most of the difficult birds. Including all the Wren Babblers. I also managed to get very good recording of Wedge-billed Wren Babbler and Long-billed Wren Babbler, which I will be posting in xeno canto soon. Other amazing bird for this year was Gould’s Shortwing. So far I am not sure how many Bhutan trip report mention about that bird. Beautiful Nuthatch one of the Bhutan specialty and hard bird to see, we saw them at three different Places.
Once I finish this tour, I will come up with more details
