Hi, If somebody is counting the records, Yellow crested Spangle has been observed and photographed also by Bana brahma in Ultapani somewhere in may-Aug 2010 [after my visit]. Bana and his wife Sumitra were with me when I photographed Yellow crested spangle and then we wrongly I identified it as Spangle. almost after 6 months It was Peter who pointed that to be YCS.

Congratulations to Debaditya for photographing this rare species. Kedar Tokekar had recently photographed it at Ultapani and filed it away as the Spangle :). So this is the third record of the species in the past two years that I know of. Looks like this "rediscovered" species (Choudhuri 2010, JoTT) is going to turn out to be not so rare, after all, similar to what we learned about the Scarce Jester (Symbrenthia silana) before. > >Debaditya's photograph is much better than the other two pictures we have, so >that's an additional achievement. > >Cheers, > >Krushnamegh. > > > >On Wed, Apr 6, 2011 at 1:29 PM, Arjan Basu Roy <[email protected]> wrote: > >Hello All >>the beauty appears again.
