I watched the two Bulbuls above, perched in a coconut palm, about two hundred meters away in the garden when it was raining heavily! They appeared soaked in rain from a distance.
I remember watching King fishers and Greater Coucal braving the rain in our garden!
The Bulbuls normally take shelter under foliage in rain!
I remember a keen bird watcher telling me that during courtship of birds, some birds want to affirm affinity to each other by demonstrating bravery and resilience. I wonder whether it was one such occasion.
What intrigued me was their next step!
They were perched at the tip of a stem of a palm, getting swayed in the wind while it was still raining!
The twenty minutes I was able to watch this pair of Bulbuls in these two sites, offered me an insight into the equation between pairing birds. They test fidelity and faithfulness !
The pathway for building marital relationship is through the discipline of fidelity and faithfulness!
