Birding Blog 14-10-2017 (Margalla)

 This Saturday I planned a visit to Margalla Hills with Irshad. As it was Saturday and there was a hell of rush, not ideal time for birding. But still we decided to look around and spend some time there. As we were sitting there waiting for birds Irshad told me about a spot that orange-headed thrush might come there. As I was photographing Tit, Fantail, Black Bullbul, White-Eye, Warbler suddenly Orange-headed Thrush appeared from somewhere. We were very excited as it was a lifer for me and it was a very delightful moment to start your birding season with a bird you have in your wishlist.

Orange-Headed Thrush - Margalla Hills (Oct) Life for ME
After some time of birding suddenly all birds disappeared. We were confused why did they disappear? Suddenly a sparrow hawk came up from somewhere and then we realized why did all birds disappear. After spending some time and taking bath hawk flew away. Very magistic bird and life time experience to see this bird in wild and off course a lifer for me.
