Thattekad Images VI: The Last Images

Here is the last post from Thattekad. Now you know why the leafbird is so aptly named!

The frogmouth is a female and has a lovely rufous tint. Photographing this beauty in the contrasty light of the forest was a challenge.

I absolutely fell in love with the Ruby-thoated Bulbul but alas, could not manage goos shots. I still think it should be called the Ruby-throated Bulbul. And yes, it should be the Sri Lankan Frogmouth and not the Sri Lanka Frogmouth.

See all the Thattekad posts here.

From the day after tomorrow I bring you images from Thippagondanahalli and Hessarghatta.
