Coorg Diary: II

A moment of peace and bonding in the mysterious world of the ever-vexed babblers, and a rather cranky looking Greater Coucal in ready-to-take-off mode!

 According to the distribution map and description (heavy streaking) in Ali-Ripley the babbler sub-species should be malabaricus 

More when I return to Coorg in October.
