In our tenth episode we talk you on a walk through a trail surrounded by tall trees, slightly dense undergrowth, spider webs across the path, butterflies dancing and prancing on the side and the sound of crickets and other insects belting out their best background scores. Birds like flowerpeckers, Yellow Throated Sparrows and Indian Yellow Tits call out from tree tops. We also have encounters with the mimic - the White-bellied Drongo, the foodie- the Rufous Treepie, the drummer - the Yellow-crowned Woodpecker, beautiful flycatchers like the Tickell’s Blue Flycatcher and the heartthrob the Indian Paradise Flycatcher. Our sightings also include the Small Minivet, Common Woodshrike and the Large Cuckooshrike. Today’s episode has some great insights about woodpeckers as well as interesting aspects about behavior and characteristic features of forest birds, which will help you identify them in their natural habitat.
