I spotted an unusual visitor while I was on my usual stroll near my home. Even though It was pretty far, I took this photo and reviewed it. It resembled an Orange-headed Thrush which I had seen for the first time at Kuruva island in Wayanad.
As it was moving towards me, I hid behind a small bush and waited in anticipation. After fifteen minutes or so it flew and disappeared among the dark green leaves of a cinnamon tree. A few minutes passed before it reappeared on a branch.
Orange-headed Thrushes feed on ground, so I waited for some more time clicking these pictures under poor light.
It finally landed in a nearby clearing. I sat motionless, continuously tracking and clicking.....
... and finally got an uncluttered area where I could take this photo.
