Spotted Owlet
On the way from Amruthapura to Hadikere (both villages in Chikmagalur district of Karnataka), I saw this spotted owlet sitting on a twig by the side of the road, probably drying itself up.

Large Grey Babbler
We found these birds foraging by the side of the highway near Amruthapura, totally oblivious to the human activity around them.

Ashy Woodswallow
I've mostly seen woodswallows perched on electric wires. Lucky to photograph this one resting on the ground.
