INDIA Day 14 - 22nd January


Our last half morning at Ramnagar before heading back to the ridiculous Delhi allowed us to pick up a few new little bits but it started with more excellent views of the White’s Thrush in the garden, bobbing like a Jack Snipe and fanning its tail as it fed in the leaf litter; there was also Taiga Flycatcher, a little flock of Olive-backed Pipits, Greenish Warbler and Hume’s Warbler in the garden creating great wintering bird scenes!

                New birds comprised good views of a WESTERN CROWNED WARBLER feeding with a mixed species flock down by the river where there were also 3 Grey-winged Blackbirds (a male and two females), a smart Brown Shrike (only the second of the trip), a nice male Eastern Black Redstart, a couple of flyover Pallas’s Fish Eagles and the usual good array of Wagtails and waders on the river.    When we were kicking around the garden after a little walk around there was a distinctive BLYTH’S LEAF WARBLER with another mixed species flock and a small group of SCARLET MINIVETS which moved through the canopy.
