Nice sighting. Despite the bright areas in the image the eye has come out well. The white and black body looks like a nice printed shirt. :) Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Nice sighting in the open. Good details in the eye. Are they easily sighted in those parts? Thanks for sharing.

[Murugan Anantharaman]

Yes Mrudul. They are fairly common and can be found in most places in the region.

This look almost similar to the Blue whistling thrush of the Nilgiris .The slight speckled breast and the yellow beak sets this apart from its southern cousin .Nice capture .Thanks for shring.
