Enjoyed a two days trip at Rishikhola near Kalimpong, North Bengal in last January. It is a bird's paradise..Here I am posting a rarity named Grey-sided Laughingthrush. I'll share my birding experience in Rishikhola soon.

Nice eye contact. Wish the other bird was also looking at this direction. It is not easy to expose well in dappled lighting. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
