Indian flying fox

An Indian flying fox also known as the Greater Indian fruit bat hanging out on a tree outside my window with a berry in its mouth. It is a species of flying fox found in the Indian subcontinent and is one of the largest bats in the world.

The Indian Golden Oriole

A regular visitor on the tree outside my window but doesn't sit for long. Always in a hurry to go somewhere, typical Mumbai resident. 😊

The Indian golden oriole (Oriolus kundoo) is a species of oriole found in the Indian subcontinent and Central Asia. The species was formerly considered to be a subspecies of the Eurasian golden oriole, but is now considered a full species. Adults can be told apart from the Eurasian golden oriole by the black of the eye stripe extending behind the eye. Wikipedia.
