Notes:

While we're waiting the gate to Gorumara National Park to open, this beauty just sat on the bonnet of the gypsy, on which it's written the name of this Park. My Samsung S3's already in my hand, started taking shots after shots . After a few shots it sat on my watch strap also!

Thanks Wilson, Reza, Nuwan, LuckyLogan for favouriting this. I was very lucky to spot this. Just when we, the family, were waiting for the gate (to Gorumara National Park, Coochbehar, West Bengal) to open this beautiful thing came and sat on the safari gypsy bonnet where "park" was written. I took some shots with my Galaxy S3. It further gave me a pleasant surprise by opening its wings and exposing its beautiful indigo blue on its back. Quickly it hopped onto my wrist watch and strap. I'm posting some of the shots to share the joy with you!
