Another Sunday, and I set out to explore yet another beautiful lake in Bangalore. Saul Kere lake is home to some interesting birds, plants and critters. Here's a photo tour...
The weather was overcast and the trail around the lake was scenic...
A Rose-ringed Parakeet was happily munching something...
It looked wicked with its half open eye...
Its open eye was full of life though...
A small flock of Scaly-breasted Munias were chirping, "kitty kitty kitty"...
Booted Warbler...
Booted Warbler...
Common Mormon butterfly...
Juvenile Scaly-breasted Munia in flight...
The sun was up but the morning was still misty and pleasant...
This one was busy preening...
A White-cheeked Barbet seemed to have caught a dragonfly...
White-cheeked Barbets usually feed on fruits but they will take winged insects opportunistically...
Plain Tiger butterfly...
The scaly-breasted Munia feeds mainly on seeds but also eats small berries such as those of Lantana...
Thanks for reading. Hope you liked the post. Feedback would make my day.

ReplyDeleteThe "evil" Rose Ringed Parakeet made me laugh. The feathers are so smooth - incredible. I feel sorry for the Scaly-breasted Munia - they couldn't come up with a better name for those intricate feathers? Thanks for sharing these astounding pictures.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful. Loved your bird photography.
ReplyDeleteKeep sharing.
Despite the dull day you found so much colour around you. Wonderful photos of the birds.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this wonderful Post.

ReplyDeleteI'm sure I've never heard of "Scaly-breasted Munias" but they sure are beautiful birds. They give the colour brown a whole new meaning! Thank you so much!
