Chestnut-backed Jewel-Babbler Ptilorrhoa castanonota is among a suite of New Guinea hill forest species that are not usually accommodated into classical bird tours to Papua but that are fairly accessible in the Arfak Mountains and are virtually guaranteed on our Amazing Arfak birding expedition there.

I want to say again thank you very much for organizing such a wonderful expedition. Working on the 'Life' project I have been fortunate enough to have filmed many great bird spectacles over the last two years, but our trip to West Papua has been one of my favorites. This is not only because of the truly incredible birds, but also for the excellent logistics which you set up. I don't think I have ever eaten so well while filming in a tropical forest!
