Spring-Summer - 152 (Coracias garrulus)

Spring-Summer - 152 ...

Not a strictly
summer bird at our
place ...
... being more of
a passage migrant ...

but ... there
definitely is a
lot of overlap
time-period ...

With Indian Rollers
too, present in the
same area ... both
juvies and adults ...
of both species ...
creating ID-problems
occasionally ...

Watch adult and juvie
in two separate
video-clips :

They're such lovely birds, Alok, and you're so lucky to have the opportunity of seeing 'our' ones too..... even if it does give you ID problems LOL

A super picture you've taken of this youngster - very well done my friend.
