Gibbon (contd)

22 Jun

After the Golden Langur sighting, we headed straight into the sanctuary. The Gibbon looked really thick like the Western Ghats forests. After getting our permits to enter the forest, we started walking into the forest to try our luck with the Hoolock Gibbon. We had to walk for about 2 kms. But we saw a lot of interesting things all along the way. There were lot of beautiful butterflies and there was a lot of bird activity too. We had a good look of the Green-billed Malkoha but very high up in the canopy. Another awesome sighting was of the Sultan Tit which is not very common to see. It came out in the open, fluttered around for a while and again went back in a few seconds. It was so beautiful to watch them.

    Super shots of the butterflies, Anush, but you've interchanged them – the one on top is the female, and the one below is the male.
