Ceylon Whistling Thrush (Myophonus blighi)

This small dark endemic thrush is a very-range restricted species of wet montane forest where it is exceedingly difficult to see. The most reliable site for this bird is along the edge of a small stream behind a fruit stall on the main road in to Nuwara Eliya from the south. Despite obtaining close views of an obliging male at dusk I once again failed to get any decent images!!!
