The Lovely Rufous Babbler | Some Nuggets
Spotted the lovely Rufous Babbler in a long time, while on our birding walk this morning!
The Rufous Babbler can be easily distinguished from the common Jungle Babbler by its smooth, olive-brown and rufous plumage. The striking pale white eye and the bi-coloured beak, featuring a dark upper mandible paired with a bright yellow lower mandible and gape are some of the other distinguishing features of the RB!
And yes! the Rufous Babblers are strictly endemic to India, and what’s more? Like the Malabar Parakeets, they are restricted exclusively to the Western Ghats of southern India!
