Asian Koel, Lineated Barbet, etc. from CKBS

["Abhijit Menon-Sen"]

Hi.

http://toroid.org/ams/snd/ckbs.mp3

I made this recording (Olympus LS-11, internal mics) a couple of days
ago at the Chintamoni Kar Bird Sanctuary on the outskirts of Kolkata,
in eastern India. The sanctuary is small (17 acres), but a well known
migrant trap, and one of my favourite haunts when I visit Kolkata.

There are several birds audible here, the loudest being the Asian Koel
(Eudynamys scolopaceus) and later a Lineated Barbet (Megalaima lineata).
But you can also hear a Common Tailorbird (Orthotomus sutorius), many
Rose-ringed Parakeets (Psittacula krameri), the clear whistles of a
White-throated Fantail (Rhipidura albicollis), etc.

Comments welcome.
