If that's the case I am glad not to be able to find it. :)

Maybe the nest is hidden from the predators and not visible :-)

Thanks duttagupta35504. Thanks Satyen. It was on my wishlist too until I clicked it. :) We have grown up watching these birds and their chicks in nest. The adults used to peck at mongoose and cats to keep them away from the nest. Now I only see the birds and can't find the nest. They have shifted to a new place.

Thank you, Muckpuk. Most of the birds I have here visit my garden.

Another gorgeous bird. Lucky you! Are they all in your garden?
