On my recent visit to Saul Kere lake, I saw some very pretty visiting and resident birds. Here are the pics...
...
Rains continue to lash, but makes the surroundings lush. Red Canna lily...
...
A resident White-throated Kingfisher was the first bird to flash its colors...
...
A visiting Spot-billed Pelican was seen flying around...
...
A flock of Scaly-breasted Munia was seen next...
...
...
...
Saw a Eurasian Coot training her chicks...
...
...
...
...
...
A Black Drongo couple were seen being attached and detached in a span of few minutes...
...
...
...
A female Black-rumped Flameback (Lesser Goldenbacked Woodpecker) was seen far away...
...
This Black-rumped Flameback is a visitor, likely from north India or Pakistan...
...
Far on a tree were perched a male Black-naped Oriole and an Indian Golden Oriole. They are winter visitors from probably northeastern China, Korea or northern Vietnam...
...

A raptor was seen savoring his fish meal. It may be a Brahminy Kite juvenile or a Eurasian Marsh-Harrier. Quite difficult to identify...
...
...
Last bird of the day was a female White-naped Woodpecker...

What a wonderful series of photos from your trip this is.
ReplyDeleteI really like the Black-rumped Flameback and the Wilewaal.
I wish you a nice weekend.
Greetings Irma
My fav are the woodpeckers, no doubt. Their colours are amazing.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!
Hello,
ReplyDeleteLove the gorgeous flowers and all the birds. The colorful Woodpeckers, Orioles and Kingfisher are a few of my favorites. Awesome photos and post. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a happy weekend! PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
Flying jewels what more can I saw . Professionally captured. Beautiful as your header of the photo's above the sofa.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is the white-naped woodpecker. We have ones the exact same shape, but black, white and red! I just saw one the other day. AMAZING photos!
ReplyDeleteSo similar to species we have here but different.
ReplyDeleteThose two woodpeckers are very striking and colourful, really standing out on your dull day. Love the Coots - great portraits.
ReplyDeleteIf that opening picture is your lounge, I'm not sure my wife would stand for me doing a similar thing. She says I spend too much time on birds - LOL!
That big woodpecker looks a lot like our Pileated except for the colors! Beautiful photos...love the baby Coots! They are adorable! Happy weekend. I love the very first photo..WOW!
ReplyDelete...these are fabulous my friend, but the Eurasian Coot feeding her chick is the winner for me.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are amazing, as always! You do an incredible job!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing with us!
Have a beautiful weekend!
Hello,:=) Stunning shots of all the birds. The Woodpecker's colours really pop on the tree, all the Coot captures are charming especially mother feeding chick. I think this may be my favourite one this week.
ReplyDeleteAmazing shots
ReplyDeleteFabulous images (all of them) Love the Woodpecker and oriole shot however the series on the Coots are wonderful. I hope you are having a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteAlways an impressive array of bird life you show us. And framed on the wall is even better!! That flame-back is appropriately named!
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking time from your day to share with us at IRBB!
This all makes me want to visit Asia again!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful & thank you so much for sharing. The colors are phenomenal. I live by Fox River and I see many birds, ducks & sometimes swans. I also see many squirrels and rabbits and other critters when we go out on our walks near Fox River. It's only about 4 or 5 blocks from me. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteExcellent images of the birds, but, I love the White-naped Woodpecker and the Black-rumped Flameback, beautiful Shiju.
ReplyDeleteI know that I repeat myself but you make really good photos. The bird shots are crystal clear.
ReplyDeleteWow! gorgeous photos of our feathered friends ~ ^_^

The mama and baby are priceless - I love the strong colors in those captures. the Canna lily and creeping daisy are also beautiful. Neat for you that you saw birds from other regions of the world!
ReplyDeleteThat daisy is everywhere here too right now, and we have very cool days and nights for November. Normally we are heading into Summer already being hot.
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up for Life This Week. Next week, I am sharing my self care stories for the last time in 2021. Where DID that year go?
Hope to see you then too, on or off prompt!

A beautiful Canna, and the most fascinating colorful birds! I just love woodpeckers.
ReplyDeleteYour wild birds and flower photos are absolutely wonderful, as always, but I want to add how much I like the cozy room in the first picture. I hope the rains are just enough and not too much.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful photos and brilliantly coloured birds.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I visit your site I'm amazed at the amazing subjects you've pictured. If only we had birds like these in the UK.
ReplyDeleteThat Coot chick has a face only his mother could love :) Thanks for linking up. Your photos are always impressive.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this visit to a green summer! November in Finland is grey. I loved those two woodpeckers with their yellow & orange feathers! We have here only the common types with some red.
ReplyDeleteWonderful birds....
