The Diversity of Dehing Patkai

Rufous-Breasted Accentor
As migratory birds begin to depart at the onset of spring, a feast of blossoms help them fatten up for the long journey home. Meanwhile, birds such as orioles, cuckoos, nightingales and starlings return, after wintering in the plains… just in time to gorge on almond blossoms, yellow mustards, daisies and a host of other species that dot the landscape. Seen here, is a Rufous-breasted Accentor Prunella strophiata, distinguished by its rust-orange breast and grey eyeliner-like streak, amidst buds of Viburnum grandiflorum.  Photo:Ansar Ahmad
