This trip will be remembered to me till my last. we reached 114+ on the fisrt day then slowly to 220+ area. and then on the last five days we have seen 80 arround species! ! Its a example of wonderfull team effort, with Mr. NEL leading from the front. Hats off to his likings towards butterflies. Rudra, the youngest amol the experienced and me the fatty all tried hard to make this trip such eventfull. i am focused on record shots, Amol on Karak and rudra always looking for some thing special. Nelson ji with his happy feet get through Golden Emperor at ease! for me siting the unid darkie and the yellow tinsell and the yellow kaiser are very special, other than this very very important is pointed pierrot, till to identifly 2-3 oakblues, many other lycinids. i am unlucky for, not seeing the fringed red eye personally and not being able to take a good shot of mandarine blue. Other wise i am happy that i am part of a team which in a stretch of 12-13 days have the capability to found so many jewels from the verginity of Namdapha. I am lucky for being able to roam arround alone in the deep forest with Gimnei singing a local folklore. We enjoyed every bit off the trip . . . All the locals Bannoi, Gimnei, Gagoi, Das, Langfang, the pather man, anirudhh, harbindar need a special mention. without their support and effort we can hardly reach this mile stone. We meet Mr. Craig Robson during the trip. he is a famous birder. We meet another kiwi couple who have a house in Costa Rica! In the initial seven days we have the happy company of Mr Ujjal Ghosh a friend of us and an IFS presently in the CF position in WB Forest Dept. He is doing wonders with butterflies in the NB area. He had helped us a lot during the meet time in NB also. We have a big list of mammals observed. Sherow, slow loris, red giant flying squirrel, stamped tailed macaque, hoolock gibbon, orange-bellied squirrel, hoary-bellied squirrel are their in our list. 4-5 species of frog photographed, white belied heron, streak throated fulvetta, silver eared mesia, forktails, trogons, bulbuls are there in plenty. a peculate cathches our eye on the very first day! Fabulous insects fire flyies with branched antena ohh a lot of things. Amol will soon post the complete report of our trip, in which you will found more detailed information. for now here are the yellow tinsell and common tinsell. regards Arjan On 3/30/09, Vijay Barve <vb.fr...@gmail. com> wrote: Hi Arjan, Looks you guys have really freaked out there with butterflies.
