I think the group would have preferred to have seen the Pitta before its last gasp.

I can just imagine Maxwell Smart saying "Missed it by that much".

Hi,

Richard Baxter has kindly provided images from his recent Christmas Island tour. They can be viewed at http://www.bird-o.com/

More information will be provided as it becomes available in due course. This seems to be a great all-round experience with some fantastic non-birding experiences as well. Imagine swimming with whale sharks just off the beach, after seeing a Cinnamon Bittern, then finding the carcass of a blue-winged pitta while snorkelling. Magic!

Simon.
