A Pond Heron and a Little Egret in a nutmeg tree in our garden! It is likely that the Little Egret might be in its breeding season as there is a brown streak of plumage on its neck.
To find water birds on a tree in a dry land is indeed unusual, therefore a special sight !
The wetland below our garden beside a stream has been now converted into a rubber nursery, which displaced these water birds to other areas. It is therefore not common to see these birds in our garden!
There are birds coming to our garden in search of water!
I wonder if birds feel stressed on account of their natural habitats getting diminished by unmindful development projects!
When we have flock of birds at the feeding station for most of the day, it might indicate that they are also in search of food !
I wondered whether birds find the environmental changes threatening to their normal habitat!
We read about bad quality of air in Delhi, mostly human made ! The Cochi town had thick fog yesterday, which is unusual!
It is a wake up call about human behaviour towards the environment!
Are we responsible stewards of our environment to keep it healthy for all?
