These birds are very common, as soon as you stop, they just seem to emerge from the bushes, hoping for any tit bits of food from photographers who have stopped for a rest bite in the hunt for the illusive Tiger. On this occasion we have pulled up to listen for alarm calls made by the Sambar deer, hoping to gain direction of where the calls were coming from. With the engine off, all ears were scanning for any sounds as five birds emerged, they just appeared from within the foliage. I know some folk will want to see the feet, but sadly not the case here, as the feet were hidden by the leaves.
