Looking out from the balcony I could see a palm tree in which one palm had broken off leaving a hollow on the side. There were a couple of red ringed parakeets hanging around in that area.
My guess is that there was some water collected in that hollow and they are using it as a watering hole. I have seen them taking turns to have a dip in it. The setting sun gave the perfect light to make a video of it.
I captured the action amidst the cacophony of all the birds. I could identify the calls of the Koel, Crow, Sunbird, Myna, Parakeet, Red Vented Bulbul and the Kingfisher.
(Maybe bird experts could identify some more calls)
I noticed that this Kingfisher is a local guy who does his daily routine of calling out by parking himself at different locations. You can clearly hear him even if he is sitting at a distance of hundred meters.
While editing the video I had to make a decision where to stop as I did not want the video to be too long. Then I realised that with nature, the show goes on and it is we, humans, who are in a hurry to stop it and move on with "the next pressing matter"
