Did you know that Parakeets, Owls, Myna's etc.. all share the same kind of home? They nest / roost in holes / hollow of tree trunks that are often created by other birds like Woodpeckers. On this day, we found several coconut trees with such holes in them. And a large flock of Rose Ringed Parakeets was active with some of them in these holes - while others were on the branches nearby.
The spotted owlet had occupied one of those hollows in the tree and the Parakeets clearly didn't like that. So they were continuously making calls and one of them even landed on the hollow to scare the owlet away. The owlet came out and landed on this perch very close - this was around 3 PM. It was sleepy, yawning and had droopy eyes. We felt sorry for it, but didn't disturb the fight and watched from a distance.
Thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.

And nothing jostle or displace,
So waved the pine-tree through my thought
And fanned the dreams it never brought."

This caught my attention,I assume the branch had broken off in some storm. Wonderful detail and textures on the bark and the torn off strands of wood.

Even though it looks like it, there is NO frost on the willow
'Salix Chaenomeloides' is the Latin name for giant pussy willow. It is native to Japan but adapts well to a wide range of garden situations including sandy, average and even quite moist soil. The branches bear rosy red catkins.

Branch drops closer to water as heron walks further out along branch . The sinking branch allows the heron to silently get closer to his prey in the water. This is one smart green heron
…… One from the shoreline of Derwent water - drunk a gallon or two from the lake in its time this beauty! Did you know that a mature tree will drink 11,000 gallons of water a year!!! (SEE LINK BELOW) Is that not a good reason to plant more?!? Happy tree Tuesday to all on Flickr, Alan:-) HTMT.…….

Georgia Northeastern Railroad GP20 #7562 brings three loaded marble hoppers up the switchback on the former Georgia Marble Railroad branch. Once they clear the switch theyll shove up the 4.5% grade into Tate. It was always a sure bet to get the first generation EMD's on the branch since the GP38's were deemed too heavy. After the first gen EMD's were purged from the roster by Patriot Rail in 2017 they tried upgrading the branch to support the GP38's but didnt really make it much better. Derailments are pretty common here albeit nothing major fortunately.
