These are in no particular order, I just realised that we had quite a lot of photos of birds so I could make a post showing them ... these are ones I don't think have appeared in previous blog posts
Peacocks/hens are so commonplace here its so easy to become blase about seeing them
These are very common throughout India ... red vented bulbuls (the red vent refers to their red bottoms)!
Also a common sight, but I love these colourful birds. They are Indian Rollers
the India Robin (male) .. another bird with a red bottom
More bulbul pics
Bee-eaters - its amazing to watch these in action, they are such acrobatic fliers
Not sure what this is ... I need to refer to our bird book ... but I liked the colouring.
Indian Silver Beak finch ... there are lots of these around - bit like the British sparrow really
another unidentified bird ... I'll update the post when I've I've worked out what it is
and the sun birds are amazing. It took ages to get photos of them as they are very small, very fast, and tend to bury themselves in the dense shrubs. When the sunlight catches their feathers the colours are just amazing
not quite as colourful but still an attractive small bird
This is the nest of the Weaver Bird (with a false entry passageway to confuse predators)
Indian Nightjar .. we startled it one evening when returning from a late drive to spot leopards.
