When the much-missed Chestnut-breasted Malkoha flew in, I released a sigh. Finally I thought - even though I've had many encounters before but this time it had been too long since my last encounter with it.
I was still thrilled despite it being pretty high up and in bad lights.
And then it happened, hopped, hopped hopped, and it came down right before where I was hoping it would.
Still not in the best of lighting, and a tad too close (talk about gratitude!), then how could I have asked for more, when out of the corner of my eye, I saw another fly in!
And there was this other one, perching even closer.
And all's well that ended well as I bid 'till next time'.
