Indian Pitta, Salim Ali trail


My last morning at Thattekad and we went for a walk around the Salim Ali trail. As expected lots of great birds, but I was absolutely delighted when we came across this Indian Pitta. What a bird this is, and great to get the opportunity to fire off a few photos. I have seen many great birds at Thattekad in the past few days, around 130 species in total, but this bird will be a strong contender for bird of the trip when the final tally is made.
