Blue throated Barbet - locally, we call this colourful bird as 'Basanta Bauri'. This bird loves to eat fruits and insects. It was sucking delicious juice coming out of the date tree through the tube fitted on this on which it is sitting.
(Earlier entry of this bird here was more colourful. This was taken in the late afternoon in low light.)

Hello! I am DORO. I study in class IV now. I love animals, birds, butterflies, fishes and all. My favourite animal is Cheetah. My favourite bird is Falcon. Cheetah is the fastest runner among the animals. Falcon is the fastest bird. This is the window through which I get to see open sky and many birds over there on our green backyard! I like to invite all my friends and cousins and all people here. Please join this blog if you also like animals and birds and other creatures small or big.
