The Thrushes, family Turdidae, are a group of passerine birds that occur mainly but not exclusively in the Old World.

We were lucky - just after the light had become half reasonable, we found the Pitta twice on the left hand side of the path, under cover of bushes.

 WINGS Birding Tours to India: The North
The surrounding area is full of surprises and in recent years we have regularly seen Long-billed Thrush, Little and Slaty-backed Forktails and Mountain Hawk and Rufous-bellied Eagles.
It is an extraordinarily varied land, and long after you have returned home images will remain to enrich and liven your daily round: the cool marble splendor of the Taj Mahal; the snows of the Himalayas, flamingo-pink at dawn; and the lush green jungles.
