Birders have their favourite birds that they really want to see and this is at the top of my list. Having seen it in Bhutan, I was really looking forward to finding it again in the mountains of Sichuan. Its stuning , glowiing red orange of its face and feet where just as I remembered and the lovely olive green and the red dots on the breast entranced me once again.
