Frustratingly brief. These big swifts came swooping in and I focused on one to see bright white underneath ventral area, but they were quickly gone and I never saw them again - nor indeed the species again on the rest of the trip. Normal, Lifer.

Bingo! Great to see this bird and I knew it was one before I even binned it. From the 'main' (ha ha) road looking down in to the small village there were a handful of very tall straight fruit trees like pineapple trees (papaya?) and it was on the bare part of the tree near the top. Stonking view and I managed to get the scope on it very briefly before it dropped down never to be seen again. The tree was in a garden and I suspect that my tapes had actually lured the bird from the forest behind where i did get some playback later. Brilliant bird. Normal, Lifer.

These turned out to be the only perched views I got of this species, but they were bloody good! Perched in tree in garden next to road. Not too distant and I scoped them. I got confused with Plumheaded at first but no, these were clear Layards and lovely birds too. Normal, Lifer.

Point blank views hawking inches over small damp patch of grass next to road so at and below eye level and only 3 to 30 feet away. Joined by the most stupendously plumaged and vivid Sri lanka swallows at same distance and also Indian swiftlets and (further away) little swifts. Amazing and all in beautifully lit sunlight. This felt like heaven!

Just stunning! Point blank views hawking inches over small damp patch of grass next to road so at and below eye level and only 3 to 30 feet away. Joined by much more numerous barn swallows at same distance and also Indian swiftlets and (further away) little swifts. Amazing and all in beautifully lit sunlight. This felt like heaven!

Fantastic birds. First one was really close. It flew up directly underneath me giving great view and I thought it was gone only for it to return and provide even better views. Landed on branch just above my head. and then it flew off again
