Recent studies in Sri Lanka have revealed that, upon sighting a predator, a drongo will imitate the alarm calls of at least 4 other bird species (babblers, laughing thrushes, bulbuls, and others), as well as the call given by the specific predator, i.e. a giant squirrel or eagle. My cats refuse to even try Fiery Minivets.

So, beside a lot of birds and the sunny sky, I want the coldest thing to experience year-round to be my beer. Sri Lanka (375 / 436).

Africa is a huge continent with varied landscapes and rich biodiversity. In general, birders do not know what Africa offers.

And in India, when Strycker tied the previous one-year record, his guides Sanu and Harsha took a fair amount of trouble to make sure that a special bird, the Sri Lanka Frogmouth (“nocturnal and not easy to see!”) was available as the record-breaker, (#4342). More poignant is the story of another guide, Hugo Enriquez.

The chapter on Sri Lanka, where Gooddie combines a vacation with his girlfriend, largely invisible elsewhere in the book, with his search for Indian Pitta, is to my taste one of the best parts of the book. That comment jumped out at me with an almost electric shock.
