The Kotagarh forest A pair of Jungle Owlets, very vocal in the predawn, <br/> roost during the glare of the day The magnificent Greater Racket-tailed Drongo,<br/>whose metallic, resonant song often preludes the dawn chorus Vine tangles Plum-headed Parakeets, a vocal and abundant species The descending whistles of Black-hooded Orioles are heard throughout this recording The rapid chatter of Common Tailorbirds drifts now and then through the forest The open understory of the forest Brown-headed Barbet, the only barbet species on this recording The chipping voices of Thick-billed Flowerpeckers combine with Sunbirds <br/>and other small species in the forest canopy First light filters through the trees The Spotted Dove, equally at home in towns and native forest The inconspicuous Red-throated Flycatcher, a female A pair of Rose-ringed Parakeets at their nesting hollow The part of Kotagarh we visited was quite a uniform forest Jungle Prinia, a species of the forest edges Blue-winged Leafbird, often quiet and unobtrusive Open stream beds are charateristic of the geology of <br/>both the eastern and western Ghats of India A confiding Indian Magpie Robin The last of our recording time, as the sun reaches mid morning Dusk over the low hills of the Kotagarh forest landscape The rangers who accompanied us during our recording, <br/>here finding the early morning a little chilly!
