Christmas Roadtrip - 2010

These are from my road trip mostly around Chikmagalur.

Orange Minivet (Pericrocotus flammeus)

This was on the way to Sheegekhan in Muthodi. The male remained elusive.

Scaly-breasted Munia (Lonchura punctulata)

The male...

...and the female.

Eurasian Sparrowhawk (Accipiter nisus)

The orange iris does make me suspect that this might be a wrong ID. However, I could rule out Besra and Shikra based on the sharp horizontal stripes across the chest.

Scarlet Minivet (Pericrocotus speciosus)

This was on the way to Sheegekhan in Muthodi. The male remained elusive.

Rufous-tailed Shrike (Lorem ipsum)
