Birding in Ganeshgudi , Dandeli Timber Depo and Old Magazine House- Jungle Lodges -



 Horn bills are great to watch, Here few glimpse of them:

Malabar Pied Horn Bill

                                                             Great Horn Bill

Blue-tailed Bee-eater - Nagunalli

Location :- Nagunalli - Mysore Outskirts

       Blue-tailed bee-eater - strongly migratory, seen seasonally in much of peninsular India.

                This species is sometimes considered to be conspecific with the blue-cheeked bee-eater. These birds breeds in sub-tropical open country, such as farmland, parks or ricefields. It is most often seen near large waterbodies. These birds migrate to Nagunalli water banks every year, delight to see them playing and nesting. They make a relatively long tunnel in which the 5 to 7 spherical white eggs are laid. Both the male and the female take care of the eggs.  

Below are few snaps that I have captured during my visit to Nagunalli,  Please view in full screen.
