Safe high up in the Banyan tree, she watched as those colorful bipeds, swathed in 9 yards of silk, jewellery , lighted lamps, and an attitude of worship wrapped a thread round and round the tree trunk to ensure the same husband for seven incarnations more.
Now she does her own ritual; wrapping and fixing the white thread round and round her nest amidst the tough worldly branches; trying to ensure that not seven lives hence, but at least tomorrow her family has a safe and wonderful life.
Wonderful picture .

ReplyDeleteHeard somewhere Crows don't make their nests, they live in others. So, this picture breaks the myth and looking even better.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great capture... totally love the detailing. Oh and BTW.. it's the cuckoo that doesn't build a nest.. crows do :-)
ReplyDeleteThe crow has to be the most underrated and unloved bird amongst all...
