Lesser Coucal

Lesser Coucal Another bird that is least concern as per IUCN. We were scanning for tigers in Bijrani where we sighted this. A sulker to get in the open was pure luck.

Long Tailed Minivet We were coming back from Pangot to Corbett, enroute we saw this bird sit in a twig over looking the valley. It was a chance sighting and all we could manage was one click before this flew away. This is marked as least concern as per the IUCN classification.

Hill Partridge

Hill Partridge The common or necklaced hill-partridge is a species of bird in the pheasant family that is found in Asia. We were proceeding from Pangot early in the morning to look for Cheer Pheasant and on the way we found this little one foraging by the road side. All we got was a couple of clicks and the bird ran away into the bushes and then to the valley. It was a wonderful sighting and the early morning light added to the beauty.

Oriental Dwarf King Fisher

Oriental Dwarf King Fisher A real tough bird to get as it is found in dense wooded forests. Getting one in the open is a challenge and it perches in places where the background is brighter. An image of this bird that I have been waiting to click over the last several years. The Oriental dwarf kingfisher (Ceyx erithaca), also known as the black-backed kingfisher or three-toed kingfisher, is a species of bird in the family Alcedinidae. This is a small, red and yellow kingfisher, averaging 13 cm (5.1 in) in length, yellow underparts with glowing bluish-black upperparts. A widespread resident of lowland forest, it is endemic across much of the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia.
