Hi..
After reading a report published in the February, 2013 issue of the Sanctuary, Asia magazine on recent sightings of
Pale-Capped Pigeons (an unusually large flock of 17 birds) in the Upper Barakhamba range of the Simlipal National Park, Odisha and thereafter.. in 2012, two individuals at Ekamrakanan Park, Chandaka Elephant Reserve near Bhubaneswar, Odisha, I apprehended that the Kuldiha WLS just might be a prospective area for sighting this vulnerable bird which is rather endemic to the Eastern Ghat hills. So I left a few images of this bird along with a field guide book with Mr. Manaranjan Das,the young and enthusiastic local field guide and tour operator (also a member of our BBD team) and briefed him to keep an eye for the bird particularly during summer.
I have received a call from him informing that he has been able to spot one.. this May Day and has subsequently
mailed me a record shot of the bird a few days back.

I thought I should share this information with you and also attach herewith a record shot of the bird clicked and mailed to me by him.
Cheers!
