Bird-watching trip to Cansaulim

OUR TRIP TO CANSAULIM

To day we went to Cansaulim to watch birds. On the road side near two paddy fields there were two coconut trees filled with baya weaver bird nests! In some of the nests there were baby birds! And we saw a white-breasted  kingfisher sitting on a pole. We also saw a Coot in the marshes and a pair of large Egrets. There was a Cormorant swimming in the water. We saw a couple of Tree pies flying across the sky. A pond heron was sitting on the wire over the field.

We then went up to the Three Kings Chapel. On the drive up the hill we saw many green bee-eaters and swallows sitting on the wires. A chloropsis flue over our car. When we reached we saw a female Golden-Oriole an a Kingfisher sitting on a tree. We heard the sound of a Coper smith barbet. We saw a female Magpie robin and a Red vented bulbul. There was a huge flock of Swallows and it looked like they were building a nest. It was a really exciting trip!
