Today was the last day and our last chance at nailing the last two Laughingthrushes that had eluded us so far. No sign of the Rufous-crowned but the last 1.5 hrs of daylight, we heard a Rusty Laughingthrush and had good views of a small party at Chun Yung Farm. A huge relief!! We also walked the Blue Gate Trail and walked around the summit but it was bitterly cold, so cold in fact that the locals had gathered to witness the first flake of sleet, alas we had retreated by that point. Last stop was Chun Yung Farm which was a fitting end to a brilliant trip.
