There is a different feel to life in a village. The air is fresh, there is so much greenery, you get to see birds which you never see in cities now. This cute little bird called Robin came and sat right in front of me on a wall of the terrace and the lovely green wheat fields at the back. It was so agile and quick. It must have hopped and jumped hundreds times in two minutes during the time I photographed/clicked her. Its tail straight up and small beak and round body made her look so sweet. I took various actions of the bird and combined it to make one shot and this is the result!

An interesting bird in that the males of northern populations have a brown back whose extent gradually reduces southwards with populations in the southern peninsula having an all black back as seen here. It is found solitary or in pairs in open country, often in and around habitation. They are mainly found in dry habitats and are mostly absent from the thicker forest regions with high rainfall. All populations are resident and non-migratory. The long tail is usually held up and the chestnut undertail coverts and dark body make them easily distinguishable from Pied Bushchats.
Indian Robin female !!
Good morning !! Have a happy Sunday To All Lovely fellows !!
Thanks very much for visits faved & support 🙏
A Common bird endemic to the subcontinent and found pretty much everywhere. The bird is - in most places - used to people so it does allow people to get close.
This one is a male based on its plumage. It prefers to hunt insects on the ground and on small shrubs and bushes. After it had its fill the bird often lands lovely perches like this for rest.
Thanks in advance for your views and feedback.
Don't think I have seen a fatter Indian Robin till date. This one I remember grabbed a little crawler and consumed it. Then needed to rest before it can take off again.
Birds often are vulnerable after a heavy meal. There are several instances when birds couldn't fly after large meals.
Thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.
With breeding season in the offing – male Indian Robins (like most other birds) are all pumped up – singing – and fluffing their under-tail coverts – showing their typical #breeding behavior
Clicked on the boundry wall of the Anantha Lake Temple near Kumbla in Manjeswaram taluk of Kasaragod District of Kerala. The Indian Robin is widespread in the Indian subcontinent, and ranges across Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. The males of northern populations have a brown back whose extent gradually reduces southwards with populations in the southern peninsula having an all black back as seen here. This is only the second time I got to click this bird, the first sighting was in Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh where I captured a pair of the race 'cambaiensis'.
Incidentally this is my 2000th upload at Flickr :-)
We had a great birding trip to Sri Lanka set up by "Best of Lanka." (www.bestoflanka.com/) We managed to get 30 of 33 endemics thanks to our guide Dhanushka (www.facebook.com/dcliyanage).
Indian Robin, Copsychus fulicatus

The Indian Robin, Saxicoloides fulicata, is a small passerine bird that was formerly classed as a member of the thrush family Turdidae, but is now more generally considered to be an Old World flycatcher, family Muscicapidae. It, and similar small species, are often called chats.
The male of the race found in southern India and Sri Lanka, S. f. fulicata, is completely glossy black apart from a white shoulder patch and a reddish lower belly. Males of the northern race S. f. cambaiensis have a grey back and crown. Females are dark grey above and paler below.

This little beautiful bird saw hopping and twittering repeated as though wanting me to shoot her photos. It drew my instant attention and I began to take its shots. It sat on the terrace wall of the ancestral house in a village in New Delhi. The lush green wheat fields with a feel of spring behind this bird, its black tail straight up and face towards the side almost like its dancing in joy!
