Field Notes

Description:

Oriental White-eyes are small passerine birds that live in groups. They forage together for nectar and little insects. They call constantly as they forage, a soft cheerful nasal tweet.
The Indian Coral Tree is a thorny deciduous tree that blooms in February-March. The flowers attract a lot of birds. The tree sheds all its leaves when it flowers.

Now that is an awesome photo. Beautiful composition and clarity. It's nice when nature behaves itself and cooperates so you can get a great pic. Well spotted, Radha.
