Dear Friends,
A fascinating and beautiful topic - Birds on the Silk Cotton Tree (Semal, Bombax ceiba). This tree is a magnet for birds.
Sumit Sen of Birds of India had asked for pictures of birds on this tree. He has now created a photo essay on this tree and the birds which visit it. Two of my contributions, viz., Chestnut Shouldered Petronia and Grey Hornbill have been selected.

Thanks for sharing. Bombax is much liked by birds but not preferred by Monkeys. Farmers allow it in field bunds for this reason.

In Mumbai Goldfronted Chloropsis, Goldmantled Chloropsis, Hair-crested Drongo and other species of Drongo's also frequent this tree. In addition, these species are quite aggressive and are good mimics, often fooling birders by mimicking other species in the vicinity.
