SUMMARY:
Notes describe Sakden as excellent for birds and plants; the party returned in autumn to collect seeds and study the avifauna, obtaining a new Fulvetta. Species observations include Fulvetta ludlowi common in bamboo and rhododendron forest on the extreme eastern frontier of Bhutan, and finding Tragopan satyra instead of T. b. molesworthi in dense rhododendron within silver fir forest.

Sakden
Ibis. 15. We found Sakden excellent for birds & plants & we returned to it in the autumn to collect seeds & study its avifauna more closely. We obtained here a new Fulvetta.
Ibis. 38. Fulvetta ludlowi - quite common in bamboo & rhododendron forest on the extreme eastern frontier of Bhutan between 7500 & 11000 ft. see Ibis 38
rather intensely open sub-alpine
Ibis 44 Pteruthius xanthochloris xanthochloris - Green Shrike Babbler
Ibis 278 Prunella immaculata rare. very tame in conifer forest. - Maroon Backed Accentor
Ibis 291 Homochlamys major Bush Warbler - see Ibis 291
We expected to find Tragopan b. molesworthi here, as we were so close to the supposed type locality, but all the birds we saw were T. satyra - Tragopan
dense rhodo jungle in silver fir forest is its favourite habitat - very plentiful in Bhutan
