Field Notes

Notes:

I thank the staff of Fisheries Dept. Aquarium at Neyyar Dam for showing me this nesting site near their entrance. They claimed there is a bird nest and chicks inside the tree which I saw through the small crack (the first 3 pictures) and I waited hours to catch the parent bird. :))

Lenny, thank you very much for the ID and about the field guide. I should have one. :)) Thank you Lenny.
Worth the wait Chief.Nice shots. There is a wonderful field guide,invaluable to birders in India. Pocket Guide to the Birds of the Indian Subcontinent. By Richard Grimmett Carol and Tim Inskipp. My copy is 13 years old so by now there must be a revised edition. But I was never without it on my many trips to india and Goa.
