Dear Friend ,
I was at Pachmarhi during 1981-1984.That is the time I got interested in birds ,butterflies and plants.I used to record bird calls in the wild.One day I heard a sweet call which was coming from a mango tree near Pachmarhi lake.The call was not familiar to me so I wanted to locate the bird.With great difficulty I could locate the bird.I could identify it to be Goldfronted chloropsis or Leaf Bird( with the help of Salim Ali's book on the subject).
At this place I have photographed this bird on the flowers of Bottlebrush,Thunbergia Mysorensis,Rose Apple.Butea Monosperma and Calliandra.This bird is a good mimic.I am sure you have seen this bird somewhere.To refresh your memory I am attaching an image of the bird taken today.Wish you happiness.
Regards
Col (Retd) Bimal Sarkar
