One on the spots we were hanging around for long time in ooty botantical gardens was near the pond on the right side of the garden. I was mainly waiting to see if the Black and Orange flycatcher would show up. The pond on one side had water flowing in from a small stream. The nilgiri flycatcher came to the stream. Since i was behind some bushes it acted as a natural hide and the flycatcher did not see me. He put his head in water and for split second was shaking it right and left. Was not sure whether he was trying to drink water or catch insects or taking a bath. In any case he got up and was looking completely drenched and beautiful ...
