Hi Folks!
Last night was at Bilaspur. In the morning today went for a morning walk from Dholra Rest House to district courts. On the way was a Veterinary Hospital on the bank of a dry nullah. The dry stream and the forest on either side of the stream offered amazing birding opportunity. The species sighted included:
1. Jungle Crow
2. Brown Headed barbet
3. Blue throated Barbet
4. Asian Paradise Flycatcher (M and F nesting..took a pic of the female on the nest)
5. Purple Sunbird
6. Jungle Babblers
7. Jungle Mynah
8. Plum Headed Parakeet
9. Slaty Headed Parakeet
10. Rose Ringed Parakeet
11. White Throated Fantail
12. Ashy Bellied Drongo
