It was about two months ago, a pair of Bulbuls nested in our backyard and had three baby birds. Now another pair has started building the nest in the porch of our cottage. For the last three days we noticed this pair requesting this spot and arrived today with twigs to start making the nest.
During the long spell of rain in the last three days, when there was a dry gap, they were busy with planning and inspecting rtes site.
Now that the twigs have bee placed to form the nest, it would be a lot of activity in the coming few days.
The bird life has occupied a lot of our attention in the recent months.
Anna and I are looking forward to the publication of this volume of our recollections with bird movements around our home! It is currently in the press.We realised that birds were often messengers bringing insights and invitation to us.
It is a publication to remember the story of ASHIRVAD Christian Concern for Child Care, a charity involved in starting Child Development Centres at Chennai, Nagpur, Vellore, Pondicherry, and Kolencherry. ASHIRVAD enters into its fortieth year in November 2022.
Anna and I felt that we owe a lot to friends who facilitated the journey of ASHIRVAD to pioneer into child development programme in India. This publication is a tribute to them. We celebrate thorough this publication the joy of having been carried by God in this voyage!
