Unnoticed, but Present - Backyard Birding



Well, I did not realize Bangalore - more specifically, my neighborhood - had so rich a variety of plumages.

I was pleasantly surprised when I found Wagtails, Sunbirds, Eagles, Kites (including Brahminy), Pheasants, Cuckoos, Grey/Blue  Tits, Munias, Parrots, Cormorants, Pond Herons, Egrets (Great and Little), Bee-Eaters, Prinias, Tailor Birds, Caucals, Crows, Doves, Pigeons, Mynas, Sparrows, Chickens, and many more.

We spotted all these birds within a radius of 50-200 meters from my home in Bangalore. I'm sure you can find a lot of these birds and many more in your own surroundings. Backyard birding is interesting indeed. Place a comment if you spot any of these.

Happy Birding! Enjoy God's creation.



PS: I've taken a break from birding but will get back to it very soon.

The picture is just for representation purposes: you may not find all those birds in your backyard.
