It is so
nice to see new leaves sprouting up at a place where a tree is cut. A sign to
say that life goes on
It is also
nice to see birds doing the balancing act to get to the flowers. Here is an
Oriental Reed Warbler among the sarson field (mustard field)
Had been to
Chandigarh last week and clicked some of the birds over there.
Have heard the
tuk tuk sound for so many decades but was never able to pin point the actual
source. It was only last week I saw the Coppersmith Barbet in action, and I was
like “OK so this is the guy who was eluding
me all these years”
I captured
him in action by zooming more than 100 meters and hence the sound is very faint (in the video) Even though they don’t have long beaks like the woodpecker, their nest
is made by carving out a hole in the tree trunk.
The Oriental
White Eye was hopping around pretty fast and it was a challenge to keep her in
the frame.
The Indian Grey
Hornbill was sitting on top of a Pipal tree swaying in the breeze.
I have
observed (even in Pune) that these hornbills move around in threes
Almost all
the birds were up but this parrot was still sleeping
These two looked
like a pair but the one in the foreground was ignoring the other one with the
expression “Is that guy still behind me?”
The Mynas were having a good time sharing their food with the squirrels.
I even noticed a single legged Myna hopping around
The Ashy Prinia was sort
of lurking in the mustard field.
The jungle Babbler is quick with his
beak, looking for something tasty between the dry leaves.
The Guldenstadt’s
Redstart had a bobbing motion while sitting at a place
The spotted
Dove was casual in its movements
I
took a long shot at the Steppe Eagle who was majestically sitting on top of a
tree.
"Is he gone ?"
I had spotted a Greater Yellownape Woodpecker too, but by the time I fetched my camera, he had disappeared.
All the pictures/videos were captured with a hand held camera.
