During my last two visits to the Nandi Hills, I have been seeing this bird. Usually seen in high altitudes, this bird is usually seen singly. I was just walking around in the nursery and suddenly found something sitting on a branch. I couldn’t believe that I was seeing the Nilgiri Wood-pigeon. It sat there for a while and then moved down to the ground. This was my first sighting of the Wood-pigeon at Nandi Hills. It really made my day.
