Bluethroat
Luscinia svecica
Found in fields near water. The single sighting from MRI is probably due to much time spent walking along the river banks, and too little in the fields nearby. Used to see it regularly in Aligarh in the winters at a nearby pond in the middle of fields. Both pond and fields have now given way to houses.
