A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Tephrodornis pondicerianus
The common woodshrike is dully ashy brown and like other woodshrikes has a large head with a strong hooked beak. They have a broad creamy brow above a dark cheek patch and white outer tail feathers contrasting with their dark tail. The Sri Lankan species is similar darker on the underside, with the dark cheek bordered below by a buffy sub-moustachial stripe and a white rump.
Found it in a shrub forest inside IIM trichy campus, Tamilnadu

Thanks Leuba, Yes the campus has a good number of wildlife. As per records the nature club here has recorded over 180 different bird species inside the campus. And i am yet to explore some parts of it. I have recorded around 70 species of birds inside the campus so far.
The IIM campus sure has some great bird life ! Great photos Nidhin.
