At 6am it was still dark in the (relatively) high elevation rainforest where Golden-crowned Warblers fluttered just above the leaf litter, Collared Trogons and Hepatic Tanagers gathered to feed on the bounty of moths still on offer. I expected to learn a thing or two and possibly see some birds I had never seen before.

My first experience was with a nesting pair, one bird was out at the time and the other was comfortably sitting quite low in the nest. Nothing could move around in the leaf litter without full attention from this Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl. Now, although I have seen this species several times before, we have a unique relationship.

Gray-necked Picathartes foraging in leaf-litter on the forest floor in Korup National Park, Cameroon. From previous experience we have had an 11/12 success rate at this site, sometimes the views are fleeting and other times the birds provide a breathtaking show! They also occur in Liberia, Ivory Coast and Guinea.

It turns out that the reclaimed mines work well as habitat for the sparrow because they collect a layer of leaf litter, a key nesting requirement. And, if you are part of an ongoing atlas project in your state, tell us about your experiences. Behind every distribution map, there must be a fascinating birding experience.

There is no experience comparable to birding a dump, and, I have to say, I have never experienced a dump like this one. Seeing this giant, awkward yet majestic bird walk through the densely littered landscape was a surreal experience. (4) I saw this Greater Adjutant in Assam, India, where they scavenge in the Guwahati city dump.

Once you manage to spell it correctly – which may take some time if my own Google experiences are any indication – you will find plenty of information online about the birds and the birding within this amazing park.

In my mind, nothing beats traveling to memorable destinations to experience the grandeur of both human culture and natural beauty. Even better, three litters of tigers were born there last year, so tiger cubs may be seen. But can even those thoughtful gifts suffice when shopping for yourself?
