A little walk in the garden with the camera sometimes brings good satisfaction, one day is not the other. But to my surprise, suddenly there was bird I had not seen in the garden until now. This little bird was a delight to see. The bird’s name is Indian Blue Robin. The Indian Blue Robin is usually a migratory bird, although there are some populations in Myanmar that stay in the same place throughout the year. In summer, it breeds in the forests of the mountainous border region between India and Myanmar and the southern flanks of the Himalayas, Karakoram and Hindu Kush, from Arunachal Pradesh in the east to Afghanistan in the west. To winter, the animals migrate to southern India and Sri Lanka.
The other bird is the Indian Pitta, I think it is the same bird that visited last year. The Indian Pitta breeds mainly in the hill country at the foot of the Himalayas of northern Pakistan, India and Nepal and possibly as far east as Sikkim. They also breed in hill country in central India on the edge of the Western Ghats south to Belgaum and Goa. In winter, they migrate to southern areas in India and Sri Lanka. The Indian Pitta is one very nervous bird, both birds can often be found on the ground where they forage for food such as insects and snails, sometimes small lizards. All shots were taken with the OM-1 and MZuiko 100-400mm f5 IS.
