• 6 new birds: ashy-crowned sparrow-lark, common babbler, dusky crag-martin, rosy starling, bank myna, andlittle ringed plover.
• northern plains grey langur

The group spotted several butterfly species, plus lots of dragonflies, and a few other insects and birds.
Highlights:
-feeding grey hornbills
