The name of this bird is Indian Silverbill. It is also known as White-throated Munia. The scientific name of this bird is Euodice malabarica. This is the second Munia bird, I am going to present to you. Earlier, I shared pictures and detail of <a href="https://indianbirds.arvindkatoch.com/2016/08/scaly-breasted-spotted-munia-pictures.html" target="_blank">scaly-breasted munia</a>, a variety of munia birds that we can easily spot around. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV_DdV1-PcDTiaOUbCT1isGBwSRnaNC6Ew3Hu44-jzOSiV4QuhkHIH1HluF4DlcrzQ0TOxb9oVVi8VSv0J80GPMjTlWzN4ll2bkd0BjBWo2jqD7DMSgGqAoykAemtILX6lfbABld8AVO1lOSXasGCXs6bt2s9NZcW8OHy0_gMYQzCdpfO2dsJZpWER/s3359/Indian-silverbill-group.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="indian, silverbill," border="0" data-original-height="2687" data-original-width="3359" height="512" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV_DdV1-PcDTiaOUbCT1isGBwSRnaNC6Ew3Hu44-jzOSiV4QuhkHIH1HluF4DlcrzQ0TOxb9oVVi8VSv0J80GPMjTlWzN4ll2bkd0BjBWo2jqD7DMSgGqAoykAemtILX6lfbABld8AVO1lOSXasGCXs6bt2s9NZcW8OHy0_gMYQzCdpfO2dsJZpWER/w640-h512/Indian-silverbill-group.JPG" title="Indian silverbill group" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><span style="font-size: large;">I found Silverbill Munia in a group as we mostly find small birds in a group. This munia is believed to be a close relative of the African silverbill. This estrildid finch belongs to the family of seed-eating small birds and we can find many similar-looking small birds in this family. It is common to find small groups of these birds in small grasslands. </span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGQ3GDsbIhlg_ySii73LM6oevhuzyKq2kFXvV4GuqDqQ8Vk6tWnrh_TGXPl84LXRkTeCQwCPd1AehZocskMpUNMxauUjqjpdef0u1vEmWg8FBVusiOSvEo8owwJ6l0FcEZogm3RXqYIeHwVNq0hapbKvPoYo6eB5pcqmUnDynMh7tGEjRyYy_tBpbW/s1396/indian-silverbill-back.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="munia, silverbill," border="0" data-original-height="1396" data-original-width="1294" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGQ3GDsbIhlg_ySii73LM6oevhuzyKq2kFXvV4GuqDqQ8Vk6tWnrh_TGXPl84LXRkTeCQwCPd1AehZocskMpUNMxauUjqjpdef0u1vEmWg8FBVusiOSvEo8owwJ6l0FcEZogm3RXqYIeHwVNq0hapbKvPoYo6eB5pcqmUnDynMh7tGEjRyYy_tBpbW/w371-h400/indian-silverbill-back.JPG" title="Back of silvernbill bird," width="371" /></a></div><div><br /></div><span style="font-size: large;">This small bird is mainly found in the plain region but we can find them in the lower foothills.

It is part of an old-world warbler family called Silviidae. They are migratory birds that fly to India in winters from cold climates.

Lesser Whitethroat is insectivorous like other warblers but they also like fruits and berries. Sometimes, they are confused with the Whitethroat species of warbler, however, Lesser white-throat is slightly smaller in size.

Coppersmith Barbet Pictures and Detail</span></h3><div><span style="font-size: large;">I have always loved the green-colored birds because I have grown with <a href="https://indianbirds.arvindkatoch.com/2015/03/rose-ringed-indian-parakeet-parrot.html" target="_blank">Rose-ringed Parakeets</a> around me. I came to know about Barbet birds when I started taking bird pictures. Coppersmith Barbet is the fourth barbet whom I captured through my camera.

This barbet belongs to the Asian subcontinent (India, Srilanka, etc.) and it can be easily found in the Indian subcontinent. You can recognize a barbet bird around by his peculiar and sharp calls. Barbet birds are very small birds; however, very beautiful and colourful birds. </span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk-QAYYEGM4OLj-PNTotXw2RscNe9L-YMvEdOtySVCT_pZYEpD_B7ESEGJN5KNE99XnX6nqv_R_Y6wPNF8MrDQCmXcETHgBnZbJUc1vPxmrFfwhaFlrUMIEVINjNE9FqOmSnApYafPfHg/s855/CoppersmithBarbet.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Coppersmith Barbet, Pictures, barbet" border="0" data-original-height="844" data-original-width="855" height="630" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk-QAYYEGM4OLj-PNTotXw2RscNe9L-YMvEdOtySVCT_pZYEpD_B7ESEGJN5KNE99XnX6nqv_R_Y6wPNF8MrDQCmXcETHgBnZbJUc1vPxmrFfwhaFlrUMIEVINjNE9FqOmSnApYafPfHg/w640-h630/CoppersmithBarbet.JPG" title="Coppersmith Barbet Pictures and Detail" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><span style="font-size: large;">Like other barbet birds, Coppersmith barbet also has a short neck, short tail, and a big head as compared to the body. It is usually a hard task to find a barbet because it can move away fast on your still movement. This barbet commonly eats fruits, however, they also like insects like termites. Different types of berries are their favourite food. They build their nest in the tree by making a hole in the tree trunk. </span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqghcU9iWSx7ejHgECGV7cqBdkb1ojzT7xTzNmsGND1Tb6SVh2tLBUmZ66eSKzPTCzYdePsKxllRBJHviVu9Zka_xYlSyeP2vPD6DHqOHSVs9wYqNr9zqIYJJ1b16c0oIinPgYJYgJzsE/s877/Coppersmithbardbet2.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Coppersmith Barbet, Pictures, barbet," border="0" data-original-height="877" data-original-width="676" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqghcU9iWSx7ejHgECGV7cqBdkb1ojzT7xTzNmsGND1Tb6SVh2tLBUmZ66eSKzPTCzYdePsKxllRBJHviVu9Zka_xYlSyeP2vPD6DHqOHSVs9wYqNr9zqIYJJ1b16c0oIinPgYJYgJzsE/w492-h640/Coppersmithbardbet2.JPG" title="Coppersmith Barbet Pictures and Detail" width="492" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: large;">Coppersmith Barbet is a small green-coloured bird with a red head and yellow throat.

Waterbirds are the birds which depend mainly on water resources for their food and living.

Mostly, we can see them in pairs or groups. We can easily spot them by the white mark (frontal shield) present on their foreheads. These birds are found in many parts of the world including India, Europe, Australia. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img alt="Juvenile Eurasian Coot" border="0" data-original-height="1380" data-original-width="2036" height="434" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpDXVDaiGXyOVqoqP9JQ7r2x14nKAQpwg_l4n-XMsGqS5-oVub7eB8pqQ-9bBx_-3dkF-s-O1NC6cVGg2ijmMiwF3wa8H8ltB9sFTCh1jJ5MZq8eIBQDSgAxdLQlhVD_rch-YW1TBlj9g/w640-h434/Eurasiancoot.webp" style="text-align: left;" title="Eurasian Coot" width="640" /></div><br />
<p><span style="font-size: large;">The male and female Eurasian coot birds almost look similar; however, male birds are slightly bigger than the female birds. They are black colored birds. It is common to spot these birds on the common water bodies like lakes, rivers, reservoirs, marshes, etc. We can even attract them by feeding them. </span></p><p></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUlh-MHcCdIAldw29DPYhZ18GSSGkfIJT81PlEoa9A8dKSVCb9S-WlP6lk2hZ1oN2W2wcKQzntCZ32MNkmtZ8W2z6fYCi4V7KYJCi_LGxy2qQ7nBk7R5uSdN0VIB1WgF3ScdCV3sq_57M/s2048/Eurasiancoot5.webp" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Eurasian Coot" border="0" data-original-height="1276" data-original-width="2048" height="398" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUlh-MHcCdIAldw29DPYhZ18GSSGkfIJT81PlEoa9A8dKSVCb9S-WlP6lk2hZ1oN2W2wcKQzntCZ32MNkmtZ8W2z6fYCi4V7KYJCi_LGxy2qQ7nBk7R5uSdN0VIB1WgF3ScdCV3sq_57M/w640-h398/Eurasiancoot5.webp" title="Eurasian Coot" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-size: large;"> These birds are omnivore and can eat both live prays as well as vegetation found in water or on land.

I found both these flycatcher birds at the same place village Mandher, near Baijnath, Himachal Pradesh. </span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: large;">-------</span><a href="https://indianbirds.arvindkatoch.com/p/support-us-with-telephoto-lens-and.html" style="font-size: x-large;" target="_blank">Support this Blog and my Bird Photography</a>------<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The scientific name of this bird is Eumyias thalassinus. Verditer flycatcher can be identified by the blue color of its body and a black patch around its eyes. It is an old-world flycatcher bird and found from the Himalayan region to Indonesia. The male Verditer flycatcher birds are blue colored all over the body while female birds are lighter blue in color. As their name suggests, these birds catch flies and other flying insects to eat. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I found this bird on a tree silently looking for its prey. Verditer Flycatcher birds are found in good number in the nature so they are put in the category of least concerned birds. They can be spotted around fields, forest edges, and hills. In India, we can find them all over India. The size of these birds is between 15-17 cm and weigh from 16-20 gm. Still, many things are not known about it. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Like the big magpie, this small magpie is also very friendly and can be easily spotted. Spotting an Oriental Magpie Robin is not a hard thing; however, it is hard to find two or more of them at a single place may be due to territorial disputes. It comes in the category of songbirds because of the strong sounds created by them. </span><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">-------</span><a href="https://indianbirds.arvindkatoch.com/p/support-us-with-telephoto-lens-and.html" style="font-size: x-large;" target="_blank">Support this Blog and my Bird Photography</a>--------</div><div><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It is very common to find Oriental Magpie Robin from city gardens to forests. Because of their dark color and their interactive nature, it is much easier to spot them. Oriental Magpie Robin is found in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. It is a small bird that is just 18-20 cm long. Like the Big Magpie birds, they do have a taller tail and which is mostly held upright. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The male Oriental Magpie Robins have a black or dark blue upper part while female birds have a greyish upper part. These birds are easily recognizable by the white patch on the shoulders. The bottom part of both male and female is white in color. We can find some differences between their sub-species or species from different parts. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The diet of Oriental Magpie Robin includes various insects and invertebrates. Sometimes, these birds are also caged for their singing abilities and to fight. This bird has found great recognition in Bangladesh because we can find the symbol of it on the currency notes. I hope that next time, you will see out of your window then you may notice it jumping from one place to another. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">My first encounter with an owl is from my childhood when I was around 10 years and I climbed a building in search of the kit then near a window a saw a bird (at that time I have no knowledge about birds) which was not flying away despite my closeness. I left him unharmed because I have always loved the birds.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">------</span><a href="https://indianbirds.arvindkatoch.com/p/support-us-with-telephoto-lens-and.html" style="font-size: x-large;" target="_blank">Support this Blog and my Bird Photography</a>---------</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Later, when I described my experience to my father then he told me that it must be an owl. He further told me that owls are unable to see clearly during the day and it must be the reason that he did not fly away. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I like these birds because of their mysterious nature and our fewer encounters with them. Many people don't like owls and think that they bring bad luck; however, I don't believe all this and love to have them around. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Despite taking bird pictures from a few years, I remain unsuccessful in taking pictures of the owl because they are mostly active at night and second they are very good at hiding themselves in the surroundings because of their looks. I first become successful with <a href="https://indianbirds.arvindkatoch.com/2017/12/asian-barred-owlet-pictures-and-detail.html" target="_blank">Asian Barred Owlet</a> by getting some of his pictures. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">My second success comes with a sudden and close encounter with Indian Scops Owl. Suddenly, the owl in the above pictures was chased by crows and while running away he landed at our school. For sometimes, he stayed there because crows ran away by seeing many people. First, I thought that he must be injured but on close inspection, he looked fine. After staying for some time, he again flew away to the next destination. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The scientific name of this owl is Otus bakkamoena and it is native to South Asia. It is a small owl but bigger than an owlet. The average size of this owl is between 23-25 cm. Indian Scops Owl is a nocturnal bird. God has provided them a natural camouflage and therefore, it very hard to find them on a tree. I was lucky to find it on the ground. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The color of the Indian scops owl is grey and brown with strikes of brown or black lines on the body. The color of its eyes is orange. These colors and looks of the owl provide him a natural morph. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This owl came to me like it wanted his pictures to be clicked and I am feeling lucky that I was present there on that day. I hope that I will have more encounters with him in near future. </span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7907185960018290198.post-60635533417252502372020-01-06T05:45:00.003-08:002021-01-08T20:24:16.455-08:00Eurasian Collared-Dove or Collared Dove (Streptopelia decapcto) Pictures and Detail<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Today, I will talk about another dove species i.e. Eurasian Collared dove or popularly known as a collared dove. Earlier, I covered three dove species on this blog and they were <a href="https://indianbirds.arvindkatoch.com/2015/04/laughing-dove-or-palm-dove-and-senegal.html" target="_blank">Laughing Dove</a>, <a href="https://indianbirds.arvindkatoch.com/2015/05/rock-dove-pigeon-pictures-and-detail.html" target="_blank">Rock Dove</a> and <a href="https://indianbirds.arvindkatoch.com/2015/06/spotted-dove-spilopelia-chinensis.html" target="_blank">Spotted Dove</a>. A collared dove is also a common form of a dove and it has spread to the many parts of the world. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The scientific name of this dove is Streptopelia decapcto and it is a native bird to Europe and Asia; however, it has been introduced to the American continent too. Because of their good population, these birds are put under the category of least concerned birds. </span><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">-------</span><a href="https://indianbirds.arvindkatoch.com/p/support-us-with-telephoto-lens-and.html" style="font-size: x-large;" target="_blank">Support this Blog and my Bird Photography</a>--------<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">They also have similar eating habits as that of other dove birds like grains, fruits, small insects, etc. I spotted a pair of Eurasian collared doves and found them mostly together which shows their strong relationship. They are called collared doves because of the black colored collar-like shape around their neck. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">They almost have the same length as common pigeons but are slightly thinner in size. Their average length is 32 cm and a wingspan of 52 cm. Collared dove birds love to live around human habitation so that they can easily get their food. It is common to see them in fields or around the fields to get the grains to eat. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The best way to recognize these birds is to recognize the half-collar of black color on the neck. Around the half-collar at edges, we can also notice white color. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The black-colored half-collar is not clearly visible in the juvenile birds. The opposite sexes of the collared dove are similar in shape but female birds are slightly smaller in size. They have two subspecies that differ slightly in color and shape. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Finally, I am a happy man because I got my first picture of an owlet. Even after taking pictures of more than 100 different birds, I was unable to capture an owlet through my camera. I became lucky when I spotted an Asian Barred Owlet in my native village in Himachal. </span><span style="font-size: large;">The scientific name of the Asian Barred Owlet is Glaucidium cuculoides. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">------Download our App <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.arvindkatoch.indianbirds" target="_blank">Beautiful Indian Birds</a>-------<br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The above owlet in pictures is the subspecies of Asian Barred Owlet which is found in the Himalayas and its scientific name is Glaucidium cuculoides. These owls are residents of the Northern Subcontinent of India and they are also found in some parts of Southeast Asia. Asian Barred Owlet is species of True owlet and they can be seen in countries like India, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam. </span></div>

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Mostly, in Indian culture, people don't like owlets and associate them with bad things. However, I like them very much and even want to have one as a pet if I get one that can't fly due to an injury. Asian Barred owlets are put in the category of least concerned birds because of their presence in good numbers. </span><div><br /></div><div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It is basically a small owlet with a rounded headed and no ear tufts. Their size range from 22-24 cm and 150 to 250 g. The breeding season of these owlets ranges from April to June. Asian Barred owlet females are heavier than their male counterparts. These owlets can be recognized by their white eyebrows. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In the future, I hope to bring more pictures and detail of Asian Barred Owlet for you.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">The Asian Barred Owlet is a small species of owl that is found in South and Southeast Asia. <b>Here are some interesting facts about this bird:</b> </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><b> Appearance:</b> The Asian Barred Owlet is a small, stocky owl with a round head and no ear tufts. It has a brownish-gray body with white and black stripes on its forehead and a distinctive white collar around its neck. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><b> Habitat:</b> These owls are found in a variety of habitats, including forests, woodlands, plantations, gardens, and urban areas. They are known to adapt well to human-modified landscapes. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><b> Diet:</b> The Asian Barred Owlet primarily feeds on insects, but also eats small mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians. It hunts at night, using its sharp talons to catch prey. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><b> Behaviour:</b> These owls are known for their distinctive calls, which are a series of hoots that sound like "too-too-too-too-too." They are also known for their aggressive behaviour, and will defend their territory and young fiercely. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><b> Breeding: </b>Asian Barred Owlets breed during the winter months, typically laying 2-4 eggs in a tree cavity or nest box.

<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;">The Grey-hooded warbler Detail and Pictures-</span></h3>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Some times, it is quite amazing to see small birds jumping here and there to get their food. We can easily spot these tiny birds through their habit of constantly moving. Today, I will share with you my experience with the tiny bird Grey-hooded warbler. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Earlier, I introduced you to another sweet-voiced warbler bird <a href="https://indianbirds.arvindkatoch.com/2015/07/the-common-tailorbird-orthotomus.html" target="_blank">Common Tailorbird</a>. Unlike the common tailorbird, Grey-hooded warbler is a Himalayan bird and we can see it in the middle or higher reaches of the Himalaya. </span><br />
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM0zPjTXErmYdCV2GiLHPdDnp3YpFzqKAs-SYRSh33GeWcw5D0rZaYmclRQGxqYOKIV8NolmP4gUhmRkxZtF539gDiBPWQHKzbqIe6WSRsb3M27lGEbS1VnIHs7pPk7JfSyPVY8jzmlCE/s1600/Grey-hooded-Warbler2.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Grey-hooded warbler" border="0" height="552" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM0zPjTXErmYdCV2GiLHPdDnp3YpFzqKAs-SYRSh33GeWcw5D0rZaYmclRQGxqYOKIV8NolmP4gUhmRkxZtF539gDiBPWQHKzbqIe6WSRsb3M27lGEbS1VnIHs7pPk7JfSyPVY8jzmlCE/s640/Grey-hooded-Warbler2.JPG" title="Grey-hooded warbler" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Grey-hooded warbler belongs to the leaf warbler family and their scientific name is Phylloscopus Xanthoschistos. Their size is comparable to common tailor birds and they weigh around 6 to 10 grams. Like the common tailorbird, they too make sweet and pleasing sounds. </span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: large;">-------</span><a href="https://indianbirds.arvindkatoch.com/p/support-us-with-telephoto-lens-and.html" style="font-size: x-large;" target="_blank">Support this Blog and my Bird Photography</a>-----------<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So far, the Grey-hooded warbler can be easily spotted in their habitats, thus they don't come under threatened birds; however, constant destruction to their habitats is a cause of concern. We can find them across the Himalayan region including countries like Pakistan, India, Bhutan, and Nepal. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">These small birds fed on small insects and wild berries. Their breeding season is from the months of March to August. I noticed that these tiny birds don't fear humans much if we behave sensibly and don't disturb them. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It is slightly hard to take their picture because they don't sit at a single place for long time. In future, I hope to bring more info and pictures of these birds for you. </span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Today, I will talk about a bird with tall and narrow legs. Recently, I found a bird which was moving very slowly through bushes and searching for insects in the water. So, I decided to take its pictures and zoomed my lens on it. First, I thought that this bird may be related to <a href="http://indianbirds.arvindkatoch.com/2015/03/the-red-wattled-lapwing-pictures-and.html" target="_blank">Red-wattled Lapwing</a>; however, on close inspection, I found that the legs of this birds are much narrow and taller than the Red-wattled Lapwing. With some efforts, I got some of its pictures and later found that the name of the bird is Black-winged Stilt. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Black-winged Stilt is a member of the Stilt family and we can find them in a wide range. They are also known by the names of Common Stilt and Pied Stilt. Their scientific name is Himantopus himantopus. We can 5 to 7 subspecies of these birds. Black-winged Stilt is mainly found in Europe and most parts of Asia. I found these birds very quiet in nature and they mostly move alone except in mating season.</span><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">--------<a href="https://indianbirds.arvindkatoch.com/p/support-us-with-telephoto-lens-and.html" target="_blank">Support this Blog and my Bird Photography</a>------- </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">They can grow up to 33 to 36 cm long. They can be seen around water bodies, ponds, shallow lakes, and marshes. Some of the species of these birds are migratory in nature and they move towards warmer places in winters. Their main food is insects and crustaceans; we can often see them looking for food when they are around. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Black-winged Stilt makes their nests on the ground like other long-legged birds like </span><span style="font-size: large;">Red-wattled Lapwing. Their eyes are red in color with a black dot. These birds are very good at making balance on a single leg and therefore, can be seen standing on a single leg. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Both male and female Black-winged Stilt look similar; though, male birds have a darker black patch on the head. The immature birds have grey color instead of black color on the wings. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">To spot Black-winged Stilts, we need to visit shallow water bodies because they come to find food and also make nests around these areas.

<span style="font-size: large;">I love all types of birds and it is always a great experience to take pictures of birds. However, people don't consider some birds good for them because they consider that these birds bring bad luck. The same is true for Indian Spotted Eagle, when I was taking its pictures, a few people told me that it is not good to view it and it may cause bad luck. I didn't listen to them and took these pictures. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Download our App <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.arvindkatoch.indianbirds" target="_blank">Beautiful Indian Birds</a></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">When I saw these pictures of the Spotted Eagle on my laptop, then I found a beautiful creature of God, and I fell in love with it. </span> <span style="font-size: large;">Why we still consider some the birds like owls, eagles, bats, <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="7e1a004c-b2f1-4254-b18a-c061608370d3" id="eaa96dc2-6214-4712-87ee-9bd0e02026d5"><gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="892fba07-4a64-4c10-bc1f-cfe561944265" id="0dff348d-e927-446c-bc3f-7b09666fc978">etc</gs></gs> as bad birds to humans. They are an integral part of our ecosystem and They are very innocent and never cause any harm to humans. In the modern world, we need to shed these false beliefs and start respecting all creatures of God. At present, Indian Spotted Eagle is put in the category of vulnerable birds because of its small and decreasing population less than 10000 remaining on earth. They have thick yellow colored legs and a big head as compared to the body. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">It is not an easy task to take good pictures of a bird-like Indian spotted Eagle which flies very high in the sky.

<span style="font-size: large;">The best part of bird photography is to meet new birds daily and learn more about their lives. Observing a small bird and then taking its pictures is a very adventurous job. Taking pictures of small birds like Tits is a difficult job because they don't stay in the same place for a long time. </span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

Tit birds are small passerine birds and they belong to the family of birds Aegithalidae. The scientific name of Black-throated Bushtit is Aegithalos concinnus. Due to the small size of Tit birds, we sometimes do not notice them, but by following their sweet voice, we can find them. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I met the Black-throated Tit near Baijnath town of Himachal Pradesh. We can find this tit in the foothills of the Himalayas from India, Nepal, Bhutan, Burma, Vietnam, China, and Taiwan. Black-throated Tit lives in forests and thick bushes. Black-throated Tit is a highly social bird and it loves to move in groups; however, I met a single bird only. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Common Babbler Pictures and Detail-</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Today, I will share the detail and pictures of Common Babbler. Earlier, I shared with you another Babbler i.e. <a href="http://indianbirds.arvindkatoch.com/2015/02/jungle-babbler-turdoides-striata.html#.V8_1BJh97IU">Jungle Babbler</a>. The strange thing here is that I found Jungle Babbler more common than the Common Babbler. Jungle Babblers are very common in cities and near the human population, whereas Common Babblers look slightly away from humans. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Common Babblers are small <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="582cf914-5c12-477c-8738-30311e5c0bfa" id="5a47c358-eadc-4edd-9112-5a55790f3a37">grey</gs> and white-colored creatures that are much smaller than the Jungle Babblers. The scientific name of these birds is Turdoides Caudata and belong to the Leiothrichidae family of birds. Like the Jungle Babbler, Common Babblers can also be found in small groups and they too create noise. We can find two subspecies of Common Babblers. </span><br />

<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;">Blue-fronted Redstart Pictures and Detail- </span></h3>
<span style="font-size: large;">I have always found small birds like Redstart very curious and they mostly become curious about your activities and sometimes even come close to you. Last time, I shared my encounters with <a href="http://indianbirds.arvindkatoch.com/2016/09/black-redstart-pictures-and-detail.html#.V86knZh97IU">Black-Redstart</a>, <a href="http://indianbirds.arvindkatoch.com/2015/03/the-white-capped-redstart-pictures-and.html">White-capped Redstart</a> and <a href="http://indianbirds.arvindkatoch.com/2015/05/plumbeous-water-redstart-rhyacornis.html#.V8fTbZh97IU">Plumbeous Redstart</a> and now, it's time to talk about Blue-fronted Redstart, whom I met in the foothills of Himachal Pradesh. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">During a walk in empty fields, I found a pair of small birds looking for food, When I went close to them, then I realized that they are Redstart birds. Initially, I was not sure which kind of Redstart these were. When I started taking pictures of them, then they also started coming close to me and started curiously observing me. Soon, they realized that I am not a threat to them, then they become busy with their old activities while ignoring my presence. </span><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">-------- <a href="https://indianbirds.arvindkatoch.com/p/support-us-with-telephoto-lens-and.html" target="_blank">Support this Blog and my Bird Photography</a> --------<br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;">Like the other Redstarts, They also mainly eat insects, berries, fruits, and seeds. Blue-fronted Redstarts do show attitudinal migration; however, their range is mostly short. Our Himalayas are full of many beautiful birds and Blue-fronted Redstart is one of them. Therefore, it is very important for us to maintain the natural balance in the Himalayas so that their creature remain safe. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I got a chance to do them all this photoshop of Jungle Myna from my village and city homes. Jungle Myna can be seen with common myna looking for food. In a big group, we can find both <a href="http://indianbirds.arvindkatoch.com/2015/03/the-common-indian-myna-pictures-and.html">common myna</a> and Jungle myna. Though Jungle Myna is not as common as the common myna and we don't find them very often. However, with some patience, we can easily find some of Jungle Myna around us. </span><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">-------</span><a href="https://indianbirds.arvindkatoch.com/p/support-us-with-telephoto-lens-and.html" style="font-size: x-large;" target="_blank">Support this Blog and my Bird Photography</a>-------</div><div><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">It is common to find Jungle Myna in pairs or groups. Both sexes of Jungle Myna look alike. Jungle Mynas are also as naughty as the common mynas are and they do come close to humans. The scientific name of these birds is Acridotheres fuscus. Jungle Myna is a bird of the starling family like the other Myna birds. </span>

<span style="font-size: large;">These are 22 to 23 cm long birds. The color of their feathers is gray, which is darker on the head and wings.

<span style="font-size: large;">Amur wagtail is a very sweet and friendly small wagtail. This wagtail mainly has a combination of White, Black, and gray colors on its body. It is quite pretty to observe the dark black eyes on the white face. The head of White Wagtail is black and we can find a black color on the front chest like a child's bib. The size of this wagtail is from 16 to 19 cm. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">------</span><a href="https://indianbirds.arvindkatoch.com/p/support-us-with-telephoto-lens-and.html" style="font-size: x-large;" target="_blank">Support this Blog and my Bird Photography</a>--------</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The wagtail birds got their name because of their habit of constant tail wagging. Amur Wagtail is an insectivorous bird so feed on the different kind of insects like worms, beetles, spiders, small snails, maggots, flies and many other. Therefore, these birds are very important for our surroundings because they kill harmful insects. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The breeding time of Amur Wagtail is the same as other White Wagtails from April to August. Both sexes help each other in the making of the nest and they fight hard to defend their territory and nest. So far, these wagtail species are away from danger because we can find them in good numbers. In the future, I will bring more pictures of Amur Wagtail and other Wagtails. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Today, it's time for another Myna i.e. Pied Myna or Asian Pied Starling. The last Myna, I shared with you were <a href="http://indianbirds.arvindkatoch.com/2016/08/brahminy-starling-myna-pictures-detail.html#.V7mRcj595-0" target="_blank"><b>Brahminy Myna</b></a>, <b><a href="http://indianbirds.arvindkatoch.com/2015/07/bank-myna-acridotheres-ginginianus.html#.V7aNeT595-0" target="_blank">Bank Myna</a>,</b> and <a href="http://indianbirds.arvindkatoch.com/2015/03/the-common-indian-myna-pictures-and.html#.V7aNpT595-0" target="_blank"><b>Common Myna</b></a>. Like the other Myna, Pied Myna is also a common bird; however, less common than other Common Myna and Bank Myna. These are very social birds and for the last two years, I <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="879a9162-53e8-4a6a-b99a-82905bc23e66" id="23563495-a3cd-40fe-94d1-3f7e5cd67097">am seeing</gs> a pair of Pied Myna making nests at the same location. These birds are slightly shy than the common myna and avoid coming close to humans. However, they also live near humans and we can find them near the human population in villages and cities. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">They also love to eat human food left over by them.

<span style="font-size: large;">The scientific name of Pied Myna is Gracupica contra. Pied Myna belongs to starling species and this bird is mainly found in the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia. This bird has five subspecies and we can find slight variations in their color and size as per the geographical location. The calls of these birds are much sweeter and lighter as compared to other Mynas.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> In captivity, these birds are known to imitate the sound of other birds; therefore, many people use them as pet birds. It is common to find Pied Mynas venturing into fields, open areas, and grasslands in search of insects, grains, small worms, and mollusks. Below, You can see the pictures of a Pied Myna Juvenile. You can clearly see the brownish wings on his body.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Like the other Mynas, Their breeding season is between March and September. We can find Asian Pied Starling in pairs or in small groups. They make their nests in the big trees or man-made structures like electricity polls (as seen by me). I observed several times that they defend their nest very aggressively from predators.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Brahminy Starling (Myna) Pictures and Detail- </span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
Today, I will be discussing the third Myna, which is called Brahminy Starling or Brahminy Myna. Earlier, I wrote about <a href="http://indianbirds.arvindkatoch.com/2015/07/bank-myna-acridotheres-ginginianus.html#.V7aNeT595-0" target="_blank"><b>Bank Myna</b></a> and <a href="http://indianbirds.arvindkatoch.com/2015/03/the-common-indian-myna-pictures-and.html#.V7aNpT595-0" target="_blank"><b>Common (Indian) Myna</b>.</a> Like these Myna, Brahminy Myna can be commonly seen in many places. Like the other Myna, these are also not much shy of humans and they come close to human beings. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The scientific name of Brahminy Myna is Sturnia pagodarum and they belong to the sterling family. Mostly, we see them in pairs or in a group of birds. Brahminy Myna belongs to the Indian Subcontinent and we can find them in countries like India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and some parts of Pakistan. </div><div><br /></div><div>------<a href="https://indianbirds.arvindkatoch.com/p/support-us-with-telephoto-lens-and.html" style="font-size: x-large;" target="_blank">Support this Blog and my Bird Photography</a>-------</div>

Like the Common Myna, they also like to live close to human habitats and we can easily observe them in cities and villages. In winters these birds visit hot places like Sri Lanka and in summers, they go to cold places like the Himalayas. They are mainly found in the plains or in lower hills.<br />

Brahminy Starling mainly eats seeds, fruits, and insects. They built their nest in open spaces or in tree holes. Their breeding season is from March to September. It is common to see Brahminy Myna along the unpaved roads and behind the grazing cattle like other Mynas.<br />

Brahminy Myna gives three to four eggs in a single breeding season and the color of their eggs is pale bluish-green. These birds are known to absorb nectars from the flowers. We can find this myna in forests, grasslands, marshy areas, waterlogged areas and near human population.<br />

With some patience, we can find Brahminy Myna around us. They are not very common like Common Myna; however, they are also not very rare that we can't find them.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Scaly-breasted (Spotted) Munia Pictures and Detail- </span></h3>
I was trying to capture pictures of these tiny birds for many days; however, failed many times because they disappear in a few seconds. After many tries, I got a few pictures of Scaly-breasted Munia also called spotted Munia. The scientific name of this bird is Lonchura punctulata.<br />

Scaly-breasted Munia is a popular pet bird and many people capture them in cages which I don't like and admire because I love birds in their free environment. They are also called nutmeg mannikin or spice finch by people who trade them. Spotted Munia are small-sized birds and sometimes, we may miss to notice them. They are native to tropical Asia and can be spotted in many parts.<div><br /></div><div>---------<a href="https://indianbirds.arvindkatoch.com/p/support-us-with-telephoto-lens-and.html" style="font-size: x-large;" target="_blank">Support this Blog and my Bird Photography</a>---------<br />

The amazing thing about this bird is that we can find 11 subspecies of them which are slightly varying in color and size. This shows how amazing and complex our nature is. Scaly-breasted Munia belongs to the Lonchura genus and it was named by Carl Linnaeus in 1758. <br />

<br />
This Munia bird got its specific name because of the scale like feathers (<gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="f21ba59b-4882-4f40-b076-ad13b7699978" id="35adce85-208b-4faa-83e0-2772525c0b24">spotted marks) on</gs> the breast and belly. They have a dark brown bill in the shape of a cone. It is common to find Scaly-breasted Munia eating grass seeds. Apart from seeds, they also eat small berries and insects.<br />

These birds communicate with each other through soft whistling calls. We can find these birds in city gardens, around <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="a2b3399a-76f3-44d8-962f-7838bc728812" id="adb22be6-1a37-49e9-80a3-0fceef804bd3"><gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="a99d7b3f-d8f1-4db5-bc08-cb21248b0cc0" id="c031c88c-51b7-4179-b6f4-98120a6f1235">small dense</gs></gs> trees, bushes, and grasslands. It is common to find Scaly-breasted Munia in small groups or in pairs or sometimes alone. These small birds are also known for their social skills. These birds originally belong to Asia and we can find them in India and in island nations like Sri Lanka, Indonesia. Though, these birds have now entered many other parts of the world through the introduction.<br />

<br />
<br />
The size of Spotted Munia is around 11-12 cm long with a weight between 11-15 GM only. Due to its small size, Scaly-breasted Munia always remains vigilant to avoid predators. In the future, I hope to get more pictures of Scaly Breasted (Spotted) Munia. <br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Recently, I got a chance to take some pictures of a young Indian Black Ibis bird that was looking for insects. This bird is also called Red-naped ibis or black ibis and its scientific name is Pseudibis papillosa. We can recognize this bird with the crimson red patch on the head and a white patch on the shoulder, though, young Black ibis birds don't have a crimson color patch on the head. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">-----Download our app <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.arvindkatoch.indianbirds" target="_blank">Beautiful Indian Birds</a></span>------<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

Most people must have observed Cattle egret birds riding the back of a buffalo or some other animal. Cattle Egret birds are native to Asia, Africa, and Europe. We can see these birds, in a wide geographical area other than their native lands because of their rapid growth. Cattle Egret presents an example of a wider natural expansion ever reached by any bird.<br />

Cattle Egret prefers to move along with grazing animals like buffalo because their activities and movements help cattle egret to catch their preys which are mostly insects. There are studies showing that Cattle Egret birds are more successful in catching prey when they are moving along with grazing animals as compared to catching prey alone<gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="ec47f532-652c-4b76-a1ce-83b89bf3a753" id="7242fd30-7a8d-457d-874f-654b959826ea">. </gs></div>

I have been watching these birds since my childhood and I was always thinking that why these birds ride on the back of an animal. Today, I know the answer that these birds are opportunistic and they look for easy solutions to catch the insects. We can also see group cattle egret birds moving behind a tractor plowing the field to catch insects.<br />

These birds don't fear humans much and they may come very close. In the wet field, we can see cattle egrets waiting for the insects coming out of the fields when water enters the holes in the fields. These birds have got this name because of their special relational with grazing animals. Cattle Egret eats are ticks and flies causing trouble to cattle, thus making a mutually beneficial relationship for both.<br />
