A roadkill of the red vented bulbul was being cleansed by the starlings. We ere driving on the fringes of the Corbett forest where we first saw the starlings on the ground in a group. As we approached slowly we saw the roadkill. We then went a few feet away and waited for the starlings to make their appearance back .
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.
