Thorughly enjoyed the birds, brilliant photographs, the first magpie that you have captured, I guess we call it Olavalan Kili, they too make different sounds. Surprised that you missed the racket tailed drongo that I was hoping you would have captured considering that they are found in Munnar area too. Drongos are master of imitators, at times you will see only one bird but a variety of calls being heard.

I have been skipping the biological park visit for the very same reason.

Equally enjoyed the other thread of yours.
The Nehru Park is so vast that you are likely to spot quite a number of non-captive birds, like I spotted a couple of kingfishers and drongos during my short visit.

Thanks for the detailed post, loved reading it. I think I have captured the racket tailed drongo that you are talking about, but captured while in Palakkad. Will search and post it here.
