The southernmost record of this species from peninsular India is from Pune in 2015, which itself was a 500 km range extension from its previously known distribution in Gujarat (Image by Raghunat Iyer on OBI and published in Indian BIRDS 11(2)). This record from Cotigao Wildlife Sanctuary- Goa as on date stands as the southernmost record for this species in India. - PB |
