My trip started early morning 05 am along with Tridib and his Son Migom and a well known guard cum guide and not to forget Sher Bahadur(Elephant) who kept a track on us from a distance. The first call of the day was the song of the White-browed Scimatar Babbler one of the sulkers found in North East India restricted to Bamboo, as another 15 mnts walk were awarded by the chirping of a Grey-throated Babbler guarding her chicks, as we ventured further we saw another specialty Spot-throated Babbler followed by the sighting of the Rufous-necked Laughingthrush, and then the Great Tit above our heads chirping to glory and far down as we reached en catchment water bed were two White-breasted Waterhen demonstrating on a rock to disappear as they sighted us but not until we had some great views not to forget the screeching of the White-throated Kingfisher not happy because we were intruding into his territory . As we walked along we came to a halt on the path were the carcasses of a Cow killed by a Leopard a week back. A little further was a Red Junglefowl crowing for the early morning light? And then swaying around us were the Green Bee eaters busy with their insects. We did not realize the time as we looked at our watches it was already one hour of Birdwatching and we had down about 20 species of birds. But as we had decided that we would have only two hours of birding so we did a roundabout backtracking to the resort we came across a barking deer on our path, on the way we had a hot cup of tea which Tridib had organized and on a rock at 200 meters we had some packed breakfast, really what a morning! A bagful of 35 species of birds in just two hours! A sound interesting isn't it, well try it out when you are there and experience the Natural beauty around Brahmaputra Jungle resort.
