Siberian Blue Robin in northeast India

Rejoice Gassah from the Makunda Nature Club was the first to observe the Siberian Blue Robin (Larvivora cyane), a rare winter visitor to India near Dosdewa in Karimganj District of Assam. This species had been recorded in several locations in India but not from northeastern India. Many birders travel to Dosdewa at present to see this remarkable species.

Our article discussing the observation and discussing its distribution in India was published in December 2019.
