Bluethroat, Luscinia svecica, is a species of birds which comes under the Old World Flycatchers. These beautiful birds prefer undergrowth and can be often seen perched on branches. The call of the Bluethroat is very melodious.
The first time I have seen a Bluethroat is in 2008 from United Arab Emirates (UAE). I always admired the beauty of this little bird. During our GIBT 2017 – NI trip, we found them in an island in the Nalsarovar Lake, Gujarat. The bird was very co-operative and allowed us to take good images. I even managed to take some videos of the same.
Bluethroat is also seen during GIBT 2018 – CS from Basai Wetlands, Haryana. We found around 4 of them in just a couple of hours or so.
