Blue tailed Bee-eater: juvenile
-- 8th June 2013
Basai,Haryana
Today at Basai, spotted this singed but lucky Blue tailed Bee-eater.
Urbanisation is not only figuratively but literally killing these birds. We were informed by one of the local villagers that a few nights back there was a massive fire where dozens of Greater Coucals, Stilts, Egrets,Ibises,Herons and many others (juveniles, nesting birds and their eggs) were caught unaware and got roasted alive!
Many lucky ones like the one in this picture managed to save themselves.
