GREEN BEAUTIES OF SECTOR 15A - PART III A

COPPERSMITH BARBET

If you recall from the Last post about 4 Weeks Back:

++++++++

It was a Day of Green Beauties of the Sector.  Most prominent

this morning was Coppersmith Barbet that have a Nest on the

Semal Tree across the Street and are constantly feeding.

These Barbet had a fight on their hands as they nest was

raided by a Pair of Parakeets, then Green Pigeons and then

a Rufous Tree-pies.

What a fight and THEY WON.  They had Won earlier too when

either they ‘beaked a Hole’ or the Hole was left as the Trees

were pruned.  Then too they shooed away the B-H Barbets and

Parakeets and Green Pigeons.

Hopefully the Chick(s) come out and I get to see them.

++++++++++

Been watching the Parents carrying ;feed’ to the Nest and then

waiting for the Chicks to appear.

On 3rd Morning as I went out and looked up after hearing the 

Call, Lo and behold there was a Young being watched over by

a Proud Parent.

Was there for some time to give me opportunity to set up the

800 mm Cannon for a Close up.

Good Views.

Enjoy
