Mid July ...

 I heard the distressed calls of the Lapwing .

Why distressed ...

Rampant air ,water and encroachments have destroyed their habitat.

  From my balcony I could spot them guarding their nests .

 And now its all concrete.

Lapwings are dainty birds with long slender yellow legs .

They seem to be very prim and proper

In the name of urbanization we are destroying the habitat of so many birds .The concrete is gradually eating away the habitat of the avian world .''Bird lovers agree that planning and development cannot be stopped but the ecological aspects and green cover should be retained .''

Quarrelsome birds ....

Generally we spot four types of mynas in our near proximity ,

the Pied mynas appears to be the best behaved ...

This doesn't hold true to what I witnessed ..

They had singled out one bird ,stalking that birdie 

and

screeching with agitation .

On this note have peaceful and fun filled weekend .

I will catch you again in the next week.

Happy Birding .

House crows  are probably the most unpopular bird .

Maybe because they look so cunning and ugly

dressed in glossy black with a ashy grey collar with glittering eyes 

Generally crows are associated with destroying the nests of birds and eating the eggs and chicks . This photograph showcases the parental instincts of these birds .

Theses photographs are not of some exotic bird , but the thought that came to my mind  is why I am sharing these clicks with you all .

Happy birding .

Aerial ballerinas(bee-eaters )

Back into the blogosphere after a long long time .

 It feels good to be back .

Though not much of birding happening ..

I have just been clicking bee-eaters ...

They are size of a sparrow dressed in a pretty green with tints of orange.
I just love to see these beauties sail and glide in the sky .
Will be back soon with some more clicks of mine ...
Happy Birding ..

''The wagtail had an adventurous flight,

Over mountains and plains at night,

Navigating by stars,And magnetic bars,

And arriving safely

all right !''

Wordless Wednesday ....

Happy birding 

Expressions of birds .....

Couple of babblers hopped into the garden through the hedge .

I generally enjoy observing these birds
They are myna sized birds,
 extremely noisy ,
 start moving leaves in search of their meals (beetles, spiders etc).

Two jungli babblers fighting feathers all fluffed up with anger and murder in their eyes .

Fortunately I had my cam with me and the birds let me come  really close to them .They were so engrossed in their violent encounter . I have never witnessed so much of anger in birds .

Happy Birding
