(delhibirdpix) Black and Gold

I become spellbound whenever i come across this bird---

We got this majestic bird while birding near Rajabhatkhawa in the Buxa Tiger Reserve. At first, we spotted a hunting party of birds that were busy foraging in the early morning hours. Suddenly i heard the typical fast chattering call of this bird and readily identified the call, as I heard it in a rainforest of Assam few months back. Then finally we found the bird as it came down to a mid-storey. The whole experience was simply amazing.
