"Nandanvan Bird Sanctuary 4" Bulbuls, Robins, Sunbird and a shadow of Fantail Fly-catcher

"The loud and evocative call is a sharp kink-a-joo (also transcribed as pettigrew or kick-pettigrew or pleased to meet you[3]) and the song is a scolding chatter. It is more often heard than seen, but will often perch conspicuously especially in the mornings when they call from the tops of trees." reference:Wikipedia ....... Almost every morning, and late evening these beautiful birds are in full swing and for about 30 minutes, they go non-stop calling each other. Some not so good pictures, which I managed to get after considerable efforts, are posted here. The Fantail fly-catcher is difficult to catch... but I was lucky to get some snaps- though silhouettes only
