Bulbul and Barbet !






I have a storm suspicion that the same red whiskered Bulbul, a small green Barbet and a Drongo, come to the pulpit almost every day and announce their presence with their bird calls. 

While other birds are infrequent during this rainy spell, these three keep coming to their flight stations regularly. 

It is  a delight to watch the single birds as their bird calls are amazingly tuneful and reaching out for their mates. They are stationed in one site for a good period of time waiting for responses. I feel sorry that they do not often get reciprocal calls or friendly visits from the female birds. 

Life for birds is often extremely difficult even for finding their feed during monsoon. But they survive the season singing and waiting!

I have not still got everything right to get good pictures when it is cloudy with poor light. Till then, I keep learning more about photography.
