Galibore - Dec 2014

Found ourselves in Galibore yet again. The highlight of this trip was spotting the winter visitors, the Indian Pitta and the European Bee-eater.

European Bee-eater (Merops apiaster)

A winter visitor to this parts (like the Pitta). We found a flock of them taking a sand bath on the jeep track. Unfortunately they flew away before we could stop our vehicle. The photo foiled by poor light.

Alexandrine Parakeet (Psittacula eupatria)

Record shot of the Alexandrine Parakeet, once again taken in fading light. Can barely make out the distinguishing red patch on the wing.

Tawny-bellied Babbler (Dumetia hyperythra)

Lesser Fishing Eagle (Ichthyophaga humilis)
