Outstanding picture of the interesting and beautiful bird Alok. That is so sad about the birds getting caught and sold. I hope that will end soon.

Stunning eye contact and a great close up Alok & Renu!!! Though we do spot them frequently in the cool hilly areas close to forests, I have spotted it only once in Vijayawada...and it was not so healthy..must be our hot and humid weather..that is not so conducive!!! TFS!!
