At the end of February 2017 I had another short trip to southern India. The visit was again to the province of Kerela, and the city of Trivandrum. I stayed the the beautiful Leela Hotel in Kovalam. This trip was work related but I could fit in a few hours birding in the early mornings, and one afternoon along the Green Cove. I added three new lifers in this trip: Purple Sunbird, Common Tailorbird and Crested Tree-swift
