Indian Pitta Calling In Kachida Valley, Zone 4

The distinctive "wheet-tieu" call of Indian pitta (Pitta brachyura) was heard in the mixed forest of Zone 4 (Kachida Valley) during a pre-monsoon morning safari.

Indian pitta are among Ranthambore's most sought-after forest birds — brilliantly coloured but notoriously difficult to see. May and June are peak calling season before monsoon closure (1 July). Zone 4's varied terrain supports pitta alongside leopards and sloth bears.
