Malabar Giant Squirrel
The Malabar Giant Squirrel (Ratufa indica) is a large herbivorous diurnal, arboreal rodent endemic to India’s forests. One of the three giant squirrel species found in the country, the Malabar/ Indian Giant Squirrel is characterised by its rufous-brown/purple colour and its ability to quickly jump from one tree to another. They can be seen either hanging down from the canopy, flat against the tree trunk, or scuttling about the branches, their tails bobbing as they do so.

Blyth’s Leaf Warbler
The Blyth’s Leaf Warbler is a fairly bright mid-sized leaf-warbler, yellowish-green above and white below with two wingbars, a broad yellow-suffused eyebrow, and a pale stripe across a gray crown. It breeds in broadleaf (often oak), coniferous, or mixed forests at middle to high elevations, and descends into lower foothill regions in the winter.

A distinctive, small and winter migrant flycatcher where the males have a rusty-orange throat that continues onto the breast. All plumages have a distinctive tail pattern with black terminal bar and white sides. The wings relatively plain & a white eyering is noticeable. When perched, the tail is often held cocked with the wingtips drooping. It breeds in mature deciduous mixed forest, wintering in forests, woodlands and parks.

Tickell’s Blue Flycatcher
The Tickell’s Blue is an attractive medium-sized flycatcher with blue upperparts and orange-and-white underparts, with the most orange on the chest and the throat. Its smaller-billed profile, less extensive orange, and paler face distinguish this species from the male Hill-Blue Flycatcher. Extensive orange on the throat separates Tickell’s from Blue-throated Flycatcher. It favors open hill forests as well as forest edges, particularly in drier, scrubby areas, often close to water. Both sexes give a pleasant high-pitched tinkling song.

Indian Paradise Flycatcher
A graceful & glamorous flycatcher, the adult male sports a long ribbonlike tail. The males occur in two color morphs cinnamon and white. Both color morphs sport a glossy black head with a blue ring around the eye. The white morph is entirely white below while the cinnamon morph has cinnamon upperparts & tail, and dirty white underparts. The females are cinnamon above with a grayish throat, a shorter tail, and they lack the male’s blue eyering. They make short aerial sallies after insects, usually returning to the same perch and occasionally descending to ground to pull apart insects. These are chiefly found in wooded habitats.
