Observation details

2 Indian Pitta observed in an elaborate and vocal courtship ritual ! Amazing views of the courtship ritual. Photographed, recorded and videographed. A plethora of other species like Oriental Magpie Robins, Orioles and Jungle Babblers joined in the chaos but the Pitta couple stayed unperturbed displaying their wings and calling out like anything.
