      <description><![CDATA[First sighting for me of Forbe's FR at Kumul-excellent views of a pair, photo of male attached. Chestnut FR seems to be missing in action at Kumul now-very similar to what happened at Tari Gap where Chestnut fizzled out and Forbe's began to dominate. Woodcock watched calling from forest tree. Sooty Melidectes in Max's garden with male Crested Satinbird, male Archbold's Bowerbird feeding in fruiting trees.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[First time I have heard Lewin's Rail in Tari (only second time I have heard it in PNG). Location at first road to left downhill from Ambua at second stream crossing (Black Sicklebill/Blue Bird of Paradise site).

      <description><![CDATA[Papuan Grassbird seems very poorly known in New Britain. Managed a few photos-best attached. Endemic subspecies interscapularis. Voice mentioned as unknown in "Birds of Melanesia"-giving the "cheyup" call-bit softer than birds in Central Highlands province. Yellow Bittern was new for my PNG list-adult male seen in flight three times.]]></description>
