Purple-bearded Bee-eater

A lot of effort put into seeing this species and we eventually located one at Lore Lindu after a two day search, we also saw one later in the trip at Gunung Ambang



Matinan Flycatcher and Scaly Kingfisher

This flycatcher is restricted to about four locations on the Minahasa Peninsular in N Sulawesi making it rare and difficult species to see.  We managed to get these close views from a protected mountain forest reserve known as Gunung Ambang.



Also seen at Gunung Ambang was this superb Scaly Kingfisher another difficult species to see.
