A rare bird in this region sighted only once ever before and that too last year. After another birder sighted it by accident, we went to the location (2.5 hours journey) just at its visibility time - which was like 30 seconds. And it appeared like clockwork and disappeared. I got a distant speck of shots! So we wandered around the area for an hour and crossed the road to some farms. I took a moments rest and the bird was right next to me ~20 feet away. I couldn't believe my luck! The rest of the photographer party was nowhere near in sight.
