Prinia,Prinia, And The Others....

Hello folks, It's wonderful to be posting for World Bird Wednesday again! I'll start with two video clips I made today by the Railway line, A Plain Prinia and an Ashy Prinia.

  Plain Prinia, Prinia inornata




Ashy Prinia, Prinia socialis
 



And here is an Oriental Magpie Robin Sub-adult photographed at the beginning of the week.

A Shikra And Some Other Birds.........

Do you remember the bird I show you on last WBW, the one I said a Crested Serpent Eagle? Well, my identification was wrong, it was infact a Shikra. I was able to photograph another one this week. It makes two Shikras in two consecutive weeks!


                                                                                     Shikra, Accipiter badius

This White-breasted Drongo was right in front of our house.


                                                  White-breasted Drongo,Dicrurus caerulescens

Perched on the same wire was this very sympathetic White-throated Kingfisher.

                                                  White-throated Kingfisher, Halcyon smyrnensis

 

Time for another ID correction. What I showed you as an Ashy Prinia last week was really a Plain Prinia. Below is another photo of one. I'll show you an Ashy Prinia soon, both Ashy and Plain Prinia can be observed near paddy fields around here. Come back for more birds on next Wednesday.

                                                          Plain Prinia, Prinia inornata

The last bird I'm showing you this week is   this  White-breasted Waterhen hiding among paddy in a freshly planted field.
