White peafowl in Corbett Park.
We have all heard of Jim Corbett -the world famous British hunter, tracker, naturalist and author. In the Jhirna range (India) a large area of forest has been named after him. The area is known as Corbett Tiger Reserve. On Sunday an unexpected guest was viewed through the camera trap. At first a group of forest staff thought they suddenly saw a brilliant white plumaged bird. It flew very quickly out off their sight. The next day they found in their trapped camera - a lone white peafowl- never seen in their reserve in its 85 year history !
