I was on the Lizard Path on my way to Viamonte when this Rufous-bellied Thrush unexpectedly emerged from the vegetation. Strangely enough it had more or less the size of an Eared Dove... The bird perched for some seconds on a branch right in front of me and moved very restlessly with an open bill but emitting no sounds at all. It is difficult to explain its behaviour but if one "anthropomorfizes" it, I would say it wanted to puke and did not manage for some reason. The bird dived into the bottom of the vegetation. I waited and searched but it never appeared. I believe that the explanation might lie in some sort of intoxication (we will never know it) and as I can see it the general aspect of this bird does seem very promising....
