(delhibirdpix) An unforgettable birding moment

We had searched for the Yellow-throated Laughing Thrushes, in vain, at Chumi near Pungro, Nagaland. When we set out on the 24th from Pungro for Khonoma via Chomi, it was our last opportunity to get a sighting of the bird. As we came close to Chomi, thick mist enveloped us and our gloom. Krishnan spotted a bird and yelled 'Yellow-throated!!'. We jumped out of the car and suddenly from the thick mist emerged a 40-50 strong, noisy flock of Yellow-throated Laughing Thrushes. What ecstacy!, even though the mist prevented sharp and clear views of this beauty!

The images, of course, reflect not just the mist, but my poor photography too!!
