Cute bird. Nice display of habitat. The catch light looks good. I have been planning to go to Silent valley for a long time :(. Thanks for sharing.

Cute one. Nice eye contact. Looking at the vegetation, I would like to where exactly was this clicked?

Hi Sabyasachi

This was about a kilometer after River Kunti, which you trek from the campsite within the national park - Sairandhri. Visitors are allowed to trek upto the river, but beyond it, only forest department staff are allowed and you can accompany them with the right contacts.

Lovely image Rajanji. The bird looks nice and the colors have come out well. The tree on which its perching seems to be a 'Peru/Amrud' tree(Guava). Thanks for sharing.
