Striated Babbler-2 (Turdoides earlei)

Another image of this
big rarity at the BF ...

... taken more recently
( Nov. 2014 )

This was captured
during our
Short-eared Owl
search ... when
a group of four of
these flew across the
path we were driving
along ... only one sat
on a reed-stalk ...
very briefly to give
just two shots ...

... the image
again a back-lit one
gives a
better view of the
dorsal-side detail ...
... despite intervening
reed-stalks ...

An outstanding find and a beautiful peek-a-boo image, Alok! It has a profile like our Thrasher.

Some fine focusing going on here with all those reeds Alok. A beautiful capture of this rarity.
