Black-rumped Flameback

Lunchtime in G5 again produced a very nice surprise. Although not difficult to find it is always nice to see a BLACK-RUMPED FLAMEBACK with its blaze of colour. A Woodpecker that seems to be at home on the ground as it is in trees they can be seen all around Islamabad. The Japanese Park and Lake View Park are particularly reliable.

These birds can be extremely confiding if a little care is used getting close to them but the views are well worth the effort. The pair of BROWN ROCK CHAT was again present with the male singing from the a rooftop. We were hoping to visit Hunza this weekend but sadly we got bumped off our flight because of earlier cancellations in the week.
