Manyu

Namaste to  All, I am Abhimanyu from India's western state Rajasthan's capital Jaipur. This is a Hot semi arid region where summer temperature go upto 45 degree Celsius and winter temperatures are recorded as low as 5 degree Celsius. I want to express my gratitude towards all those who are sharing and motivating others on this group discussion. Special thanks to the Bird Academy for this wonderful opportunity. I assure I will read as many posts I can on this discussion, I will feel privileged to do so. Activity 1 : Bird 1 : Oriental Darter (Anhinga melanogaster) also called snake bird because of the snake like neck. I clicked this picture in famous tiger reserve Ranthambore. Fun facts Diver, has to dry it's wings after every dive. Bird 2 : White-throated Kingfisher (Halcyon smyrnensis) I clicked this picture from my balcony. There were couple of them, I watched them from my binoculars they were looking for mice in the empty patch of land near my home. I spent 20 minutes watching them and now I can recognize the bird just from it's call which is very similar to common kite and Great Indian grey horn-bill. Bird 3 : House Sparrow ( Passer domesticus) They are like friends now in this lockdown. I started smashing some dry peanuts and serve them to birds. House sparrows and doves love this catering and are frequent visitors. I serve them food and they give me delight - Barter!
