My take on it : they've all moved to my garden! This one was part of a flock of 10+ sparrows.Sunita Mohan https://www.blogger.com/profile/16395671437601246093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7433906806220848808.post-63795380607602421292014-06-10T19:52:37.442+05:302014-06-10T19:52:37.442+05:30Thank you, Radhika :)
The Asian Paradise Flycatch...Thank you, Radhika :) <br />The Asian Paradise Flycatcher is my favourite winter visitor. Verrrry difficult to get a good photo, though. They're so shy that if there's any movement they immediately take off to the other end of the garden . Still, I dont mind as long as they'll keep returning :D Sunita Mohan https://www.blogger.com/profile/16395671437601246093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7433906806220848808.post-1025124029567837212014-06-09T00:46:48.975+05:302014-06-09T00:46:48.975+05:30Delightful in pictures and words as always.

Still quite a bit of rain, too, so everything is very green and growing well!Nick Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06431235724349702199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7433906806220848808.post-68908912578773204362014-06-07T16:58:25.082+05:302014-06-07T16:58:25.082+05:30Sunita, I had been reading your blog in the past a...Sunita, I had been reading your blog in the past and still remember a few of your posts.

Thank you, I did have a great time going out and clicking them too.Using a DSLR means that I have to set out especially looking for photo ops, unlike when I used to use a point&shoot which I would slip out of my pockets when I spotted something in the middle of my gardening. Still, it's probably worth it, I suppose.<br />That bird-bath IS natural, Nick. Just a hollow rock in the ground, actually. But it is very near my verandah so I can enjoy the birds at play.<br />I'm quite envious to read about the rain that everyone else has been getting. 5 inches?! Wow! <br />By the way, has warmer weather finally set in for you yet?Sunita Mohan https://www.blogger.com/profile/16395671437601246093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7433906806220848808.post-79410651948183950802014-06-06T04:51:26.753+05:302014-06-06T04:51:26.753+05:30Thank you, Amy !

Your bird bath is really great. It looks so natural and it sounds like the birds really appreciate it. You are still waiting for the Monsoon. We have been having more than usual rain recently and yesterday it didn't stop all day. There was five inches in a tub outside this morning and there has been quite a bit of flooding.Nick Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06431235724349702199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7433906806220848808.post-31423738375699271572014-06-05T21:18:13.614+05:302014-06-05T21:18:13.614+05:30I always look forward to your posts.
