Greater racket-tailed drongo These medium sized Asian birds are distinctive in having two tail feathers🪶 This bird is called Irattavalan in Malayalam, meaning twin tailed bird. They are common in forest areas of Kerala. Greater racket-tailed drongos attract attention with a wide range of loud calls that include perfect imitations of many other birds. Vocal imitations may help in the formation of mixed species foraging groups. These drongos are often seen chasing other birds and stealing insect prey that the other birds have caught.

Loten's sunbird 🐦 These birds are only 12-13cm long and are endemic to India and Sri Lanka. They are closely related to hummingbirds and share the behaviour of hovering around flowers when foraging for nectar. These birds were common in my grandmother’s garden, but I struggled to capture them because of their speed. After many attempts, I got a decent shot of one 😄
