A Red Junglefowl peeking from inside the bush
A Red Junglefowl peeking from inside the bush

This wild rooster is an ancestral stock of the domestic chickens. They are found across much of Eastern India and often heard, but pretty difficult to sight given their amazing camouflage.

The birds are a bit larger than the domestic chickens and much more bold in the colors. They frequent the under bush and we can probably get a glimpse of the head or tail sometimes. During our last trip, we heard maybe around 4-5 calls every day for over 4 days, but they are quite hard to get out in the open. This particular shot was taken from long distance while 2 of these birds were calling each other - probably competitive / territorial calls. We spent a while watching them and getting few shots before they disappeared!

Thanks in advance for your views and feedback Much appreciated.
