as per Hans Peeters Sir their previous e mail, "These birds have opened their "solar panels" by raising their mantles and spreading the scapulars; the dark bases of the feathers heat up much faster from the sun's rays than the paler feather tips and thereby warm the bird more quickly in cold weather. Most, if not all, bee eaters exhibit this behavior." most of the times we had seen birds keeping back in front of sun but here birds had keep their side back in front of the sun. kutch gujarat india 5th dec 2013 |
