Observation details

A lifer I found surprising to encounter! While going back to the trekking path entrance, me and Dhruv chanced upon some strange calls(three whistles succeeded by two or three quick raspy notes) which we could not trace to any species, around a kilometre before the starting point of the trail. After a minute of looking, Dhruv decided to move on, but I was confident that it was indicative of a possible lifer. Just ten seconds after Dhruv left, I was rewarded with excellent views of this female, along with one very blurry and dark photo :D
