SUMMARY:
Notes describe a pervasive small biting fly in Bhutan, abundant around camp, and a lack of birds on the eastern side of a pass compared to the western side. It reports continuous heavy rain through night and day, and very dense, steep jungle with short visibility where the best birds are found.
CONTENT:
Ludlow 118 - There is a peculiar little biting fly in Bhutan which is the cause of great annoyance to everyone. It is as small as a sandfly, it bites one vehemently, not noticed so much at midday, but late in afternoon and early morning it is particularly active. There are numbers of these flies in the camp.
No birds - evidently this eastern side of the pass is not nearly so interesting (ornithologically speaking) as the western side.
Ludlow 119 'A damnable day'
It rained the whole of last night and the whole of today - not just ordinary rain but streaming rain, rain that falls from the clouds as it falls from the rose of a watering can.
Ludlow 120 - the jungles are very dense and steep. One can seldom see more than a dozen yards, often less, but most of the best birds are in these thick jungles.
