Pale-Billed Flowerpecker
This bird is rather plain looking, it not is endangered or rare but still getting a full frame photograph was a thrill!
Pale-billed flowerpecker (Dicaeum erythrorhynchos) is a tiny bird, 8 cm long, and is one of the smallest birds occurring in most parts of southern India and Sri Lanka. It is reportedly common in the southern India but in Nagpur we get to see them seldom and that too very high up in trees, so when last week in Pench I saw this individual a few feet away I was ecstatic.

Short-eared Owl - Asio flammeus, Grab the large size to make a widescreen wallpaper
All good things come to an end would be a cliché but then they do and today was the last day of this mega birding trip and it was a fitting end I would say!
We had reserved the morning for the McQueen’s Bustard. The day started with a close encounter with a Steppe eagle. This was soon followed by sighting of two Indian foxes and a Desert Fox. Continue reading, some more good pictures inside
