| Remarks : | We saw this bird in our hotel campus at Havelock Island. This was the only sighting we had of this species in our 18-day tour of the Andamans. We almost overlooked this one on an early morning, mistaking it for a Hill Myna in the early morning light. It was Anand Pendharkar's alertness which identified it. - SD |
