White eyed buzzards

We determinedly rose early on Saturday morning and headed to Chamundi Hills, we stop at the base, though. Stepping over a hedge of thorny bushes - never seen so many thorns per square mm - we sat at a vantage point and for an hour gazed hopefully across the plains ahead of us, where last time we'd seen a blue faced malkoha and various other. It was cloudy and dull, so the birds stayed in. A pretty red-collared dove flew around us. After an hour where we enjoyed the mist-wreathed hills around us, we walked back to the car. Sure enough, at that spot we saw a pair of purple sunbirds (male and female), what was possibly a black-headed cuckoo shrike and a little later a white eyed buzzard - cannot not find a clear photo to link -drove back happy :) and fifteen minutes later we were home!
