Aptly nicknamed you will be excused if you turn around to look who is whistling at you.So human like is The Malabar Whistling Thrush's call.

It is not a very shy bird and is often found in around human habitation.Hope some day i will get it closer or own a Biggie lens...

Myophonus horsfieldii

Nice tunes they sing. After my trek I was resting in a stream and one of these came close. I was alone and not carrying a camera at that moment. :(

Cheers,

I liked the composition and inclusion of its habitat. The head turn and eye contact is nice. Thanks for sharing the information. Look forward to more.
