Asian Koel female

A female Asian Koel on the banyan tree outside my window.

The Asian koel (Eudynamys scolopaceus) is a member of the cuckoo order of birds, the Cuculiformes. It is found in the Indian Subcontinent, China, and Southeast Asia. Like many of its related cuckoo kin it is a brood parasite that lays its eggs in the nests of crows and other hosts, who raise its young. They are unusual among the cuckoos in being largely frugivorous as adults.

Natural 'Holi'

Yesterday was the festival of Holi that marks the onset of Spring in India. It is celebrated by spraying coloured powder/water but due to Covid 19 restrictions it was muted and almost everybody was at home leaving the streets empty. It was a blessing in disguise for me as I could actually look up at the flowering trees while I rode my bicycle on the empty streets of Bandra Kurla Complex and saw how Nature played Holi with its colourful floral display.
