I know it's blurred but this is a Green Cochoa found by our driver, Sanjay. As soon as it heard us it was off, we didn't have time to get out so just snapped away through the window and hoped. Afraid this is the best shot but see it we did, a mighty fine bird ! 

Green-tailed Sunbird 

Grey-backed Shrike

We felt the aftermath of the Cyclone that was pounding the Bay of Bengal while we were at this camp. Thick dense cloud, rain, fog and cold. It lasted a couple of days before it subsided. The rain brought out the leeches....hundreds of them that coated the sides of the van and some even popped through the windows. We had to be on constant leech patrol !
