Observation details

It was recovered from song analysis done by Maxim Rodrigues today morning that from West Bengal a number of songs logged under Spotted Bush Warblers are originally of West Himalayan Bush Warblers. We have already genuine records of Spotted and Baikal Bush Warblers from South Bengal and this record is definitely an interesting and unbelievable addition to the State. So it's an armchair lifer for all the birders who have recorded the songs , including me. So I decided to experience the bird after knowing the id in this case. A bold individual was recorded and photographed last day (2.3.23) here by us and it was an WHBW going by the songs. Today also it was there and we got some nice shots as well as call/song recordings. Will upload all very soon.
