29th November 2013 Wulai

We soon drove the short distance to Wulai where we were greeted by a flock of Taiwan Blue Magpies before birding the hillside above the Ulay Cable Car Station where a large flock of Grey-chinned Minivets and two Mugimaki Flycatchers were the highlight and then the waterfall trail a little further up the valley. Late afternoon drive to Taoyuan where we handed back the car after dark in preparation for our departure next morning.
