Lolaygaon

Lower elevation than Lava and Risyap so expect leeches, but good mixed forest and good roadside birding around the village with plenty of moss covered Oak for Cutia.

Selected sightings: Cutia, Black-faced and Broad-billed Warbler, Large Niltava, Scaly-breasted and Pygmy Wren-Babbler, White-tailed Robin, Black-winged Cuckoo-Shrike, Lesser Cuckoo and Streak-breasted Scimitar Babbler.
