    A very nice vlog...just a couple of things- I may be wrong but I think in case of Great hornbills males have red coloured eyes whereas the females have white ones...Second thing is did you get Kanchenchunga view near Sittong/Chatakpur?

    • @soumyajitmistry
      @soumyajitmistry  3 года назад

      Yes you can identify male/ female hornbills by their eyes..

      April-may is the nesting season for them. Thats when you will see them at latpanchar. If you visit early in jan- feb you can spot them at Mahananda wls which is at a lower altitude but not far from there. Let the guide know your target species and they will make the best plan for you.

    Sir ..I saw a blue and purple colour bird with yellow beak in Baikathapur forest nepali basti. Siliguri. I have never seen this birds in any record.can you tell me about the bird

    • @soumyajitmistry
      @soumyajitmistry  3 года назад

      Its very difficult to say exactly what bird it was just by knowing the colour. To appropriately describe a bird you must mention the size of the bird like sparrow size/ mynah size or pegion size or bigger and its habitat . Siliguri is a birding hotspot and you will see a lot of birds this time as the winter migration has started.try to photograph the bird with whatever camera/phone you have.
      Try searching for Violet cuckoo images on Google and check if that is your bird, because purple-blue- yellow beak combination is not quite common.
