the forests also offer quite challenging bird watching. Drongos,
Bulbuls and Babblers can be seen easily, but an amazing range
of Flycatchers and Warblers could be trickier. The forest
floor could give us Orange-headed Ground Thrush and White-rumped
Shama, or more confiding Forest Wagtail, Tickell's Blue Flycatcher
and White-throated Fantail and also the birds like Crested
Tree-Swifts, Scarlet Minivets, Brown-cheeked Fulvettas, Black-naped
