“Ping!” my phone went, sounding a notification. “Saw the ultramarine flycatcher on the campus again this year”, the sender said, bringing back memories of the previous year’s unforgettable sighting. It was a fine January morning in 2023 when a bunch of us members of the Fergusson College Nature Club were on a nature trail on campus, and birding enthusiast Aditya spotted the rare bird for the first time. I remember that moment clearly. I didn’t know much about birdwatching back then, but the seniors were passionate and patient, always eager to share their knowledge with the rest of us.
