Recent bird sightings ....

Sharing recent pictures of birds from Saiha ...


Common Buzzard (Buteo buteo) near Tlangpui. 



Thick-billed Green Pigeon (Treron curvirostra) on the way to Zero to Kawlchaw. We took pictures of 2 of this tree and then saw about 20 of them fly out from a nearby tree. Binoculars brought out its beautiful shades of green and yellow.


Little Egret (Egretta Garzetta) at Palak Dil


Indian Pond Heron (Ardeola grayii) at Palak Dil.







Little Spiderhunter (Arachnothera Longirostra) at the Guest House at Phura. There were about 4 of them apparently sucking nectars from wines hanging from trees. Our presence with cameras was of least bother to them. 







Common Moorhen (Gallinula chlorupus) at Palak Dil. There were quite a few spread across the lake in groups of 3 - 5; coming to the shore once in a while when they took a break from their gracious waddling. 

Thanking Suhel Quader for help with identification of select species from not so good pictures.
