    Scale-throated earthcreeper entering burrow with a scorpion on its beak

    Yesterday, while I was guiding a couple from Chile that came looking for the Chubut Steamer Duck, I found this nest on a cliff, next to the shore. I observed the male and female as they constantly carried food for their chicks. I was surprised to see how many scorpions they were able to find...

    Grebe nest

    We moved on into the hide to see what was on the loch. From memory I'm pretty sure this was a Great Crested Grebe nest. It was quite a small object at distance, so a quite big crop. Strange, it seems so exposed and is virtually underneath an Osprey nest!

    Building Home For The New Arrivals

    Have observed sudden arrival of scores of scaly breasted munias in the last few weeks in our area(they were not seen around here earlier). This is probably due to a spurt in the under growth because of monsoon rains. There has been frenetic activity to build nests. This one has been toiling...

    FLAMINGO FESTIVAL

    This is a scene from Sewree Creek in Mumbai's inner harbor. Between October and March each year, thousands of flamingos migrate here from Rann of Kachchh to feed, nest and breed. They feed on algae and other microbes on the sea bed in shallow waters and hence keep shifting to areas convenient...

    So delighted that these lovely birds have chosen to nest in our wall again this year. They spent a while sizing the place up and a couple of weeks ago eventually chose the hole next to lasts years visitors. I think this is the female, sometimes it's hard to tell them apart, even though I know...

    We were very lucky to have a family of Black Redstarts nesting in the wall in our yard. This adult male was waiting for the female to exit before delivering his catch.
