Remarks :This was the highlight of my 3-day trip. On one of the trails, there were a bunch of Bluethroats, at regular intervals, feeding on the road. As we approached, they would rush into the undergrowth. One of them looked unusually dark and I decided to investigate. After what seemed an eternity, this one popped out of the bushes! - SMV
