Kerala, India February 2011 (06.03.11) Day 3

So Day 3 was another day in Thattekad.  I had a much better night's sleep and as promised there was no temple music!.  Hornbill Camp is a wonderful place in the morning,  with birdsong and beautiful views.
The staff at the camp are all from the local communities and earn an income from the running of the camp. They source all the camp requirements from the local village.

So after a lovely breakfast it was off with Shibu and Jijo once again for our visits to sites around Thattekad National Park.
