(delhibirdpix) Kok-lass at Helmet Top, Walong, Arunachal

This female Koklass surprised us not only by its presence at Helmet Top (totally out of range), but by its 'slow loris in slow motion' walk across the road averaging out the speed of other bullet birds! Apparently, this is their normal pace - unlike the usual scamper it usually does when confronted by us. Our presence flushed out another one (male? female?) a little higher up. Our hopes of finding more (ideally a slow-walking male!) on the return drive, were dashed.

At Helmet Top, 27th March 2015.
