Last weekend there was a group trip organised to Kumul Lodge, about an hour's drive west of Mt Hagen and known for bird watching. Despite having only arrived back in Hagen the day before, I decided to go. Although there were about 30 of us, the birds near the lodge didn't seem to mind, which was good!
I don't know the names of any of the birds so have just given them my own descriptions :)

| Stunning scenery en route |
 |
| This bird's red face... |
 |
| ...turns yellow after it's eaten |
 |
| These green parrots were hard to spot until they came to eat |
 |
| The iridescent colours of this bird reminded me of a tui |
 |
| Long tail feathers |
 |
| Even longer tail feathers! |
 |
| It was fascinating to watch these birds eat with their long, curved beaks. They would pull off a piece of fruit, toss it in the air and swallow it. |
 |
| Not a bird... |

| After our bird watching we enjoyed breakfast at the lodge |
