White-crested Laughingthrush
But our target species the White-crested Laughingthrush kept us running all the day in search of it whenever we heard their trademark call, but was able to catch some glimpses only. Lastly we could spot them clearly on our way back to the camp. A group of four to five birds with unmistakable long white crest and black mask were found hopping inside dense undergrowth.
They were foraging on ground, were calling one another, bursting out every now and again, where everyone was trying to outshout the rest. We got ample opportunity to observe this typical behavior along with capturing some beautiful moments.
The next morning we left ‘Reshikhola’ wishing to comeback again to this paradise of Laughingthrushes.
