: This morning, we drove up a very bad road to get to the area where the South Pare White-eye can be found. Upon arrival on the top, it turns out the road was blocked by a landslide. So, we got on some motorcycles to transport to the forest. All of the forest birds were terrified and difficult to see. We were lucky with the white-eye. There was one just next to the road that we saw incidentally.
