Singing spirit - White Rumped shama male - Merudmilli
Canon SX60 HS, 1/160, f/6.3, 201 mm, ISO-320. Full Frame.
Clicked in Merudmilli, Eastern Ghats on 8th April, 2016.
The second trip to Maredumilli, 3½ years after the first one, both heralded with serious car breakdown over the hills in dead of the night.
First morning of birding in Jungle, occasionally eyes would dazzle with the color patterns not seen earlier, but mind would insist that this is just fatigue delusions.
Post lunch, went out with family to the rivulets and waterfalls. As evening started approaching, on the way to the jungle, we heard a song emanating from the bushes on the road side. Switched off and sat in the car for some time silently, got convinced that the birds were happy doing long distance talk. Got down, slowly went to the bush and peeped inside. There saw this beautiful bird, singing with abandon, jumping among the twisted twigs, clicked a few images and left discreetly.
With this started our two days of unprecedented bird sightings where we saw far more birds for the first time than in last 8 years put together
