Birds around the house May 2014.


From mid-April to mid-June, the average temperature hovered at around 36oC. The nights were pleasant. The few birds that I clicked either early morning or late evening have been posted in this post of mine. Appreciate the handiwork of Mother Nature, happy viewing.

Baya Weaver has finally made their appearance. These birds are not very common and are found in a few places in this hill station of ours. They are our seasonal visitors making their appearance at the end of May.
