Delighted to come across this calling jungle owlet today, a tiny owl which is slightly smaller than a starling. Other highlights this afternoon included crested serpent eagle, common hawk cuckoo, Indian roller. Also a calling but not seen Indian scops owl.
I was amazed to get a photo of Loten's sunbird, they're so active and tiny, and usually buried deep in the undergrowth, but this singing male perched high up on one of the trees and allowed me to get this. You can even see the correct colours that distinguish it from purple or purple-throated, i.e. brown belly contrasting with purple breast with a green sheen to the head. It's also longer billed than those other two as well.
