On this particular day my morning started with a cup of tea and then I walked up to the roof of my ancestral home in the village to look around. As soon as I reached the roof I saw this beauty sitting on a Neem tree, beside the house and very close. It wasn't bothered by my presence. It stayed there for a while even when the workers came to work on the roof. A day couldn't start any better than this. This is a life bird for me. I ended up seeing four of them and could hear them vocalizing every evening during my stay. Village Purulia, India.

Unfortunately, like everything else in natural world, their population is in decline. Village Purulia, West Bengal, India.
