Last post for today, in this outburst of sudden want to update. The risk is that it may fall silent again. I, I mean, not it.
The couch in my place, is not a bad place. Especially this season. From my couch, looking out, I see trees. Mango trees, flower trees, palm trees, and others. And what do they host? Birds, but of course. So the trees are flowering and the choir has started again.
Yesterday, from the couch, I had a fantastic view of the Ashy Drongo I saw earlier this year, ok so not the same one, but the last I saw was earlier this year. Perched on the mango tree and kept doing an almost 360deg turn. He was beautiful.
With the flowers means lots of bees. It also means the bee-eaters. A couple of the blue-tailed bee eater has been around, and from what I can tell, having a feast! I notice the amazing routine when they take off and in the initial flight pattern. They have been on the TV aerials and the roof of the school behind my place.
As always, this is not mine, but of the Oriental Bird Club - to show you what I'm talking about. This is a beautiful picture - when I spotted the bee-eaters, the weather was more hazy here so no blue sky. I'm leaving it there for the effects:)
I'm not disloyal to the coppersmith barbet who is a daily companion and is gorgeous but the other two have to be the stars of the day. Though I was getting worried the juvenile black naped oriole (in transition) kept going after the little barbet yesterday, but he's safe.
And again from the couch - the coucal - I can't tell yet whether its the greater or lesser, but it has been flying around.
So, the couch is not a bad place. I' willing to overlook the big and small deficiencies of this place so long as the landlord keeps all the trees and doesn't hunt the birds down. Its a little paradise of its own.
