The Village Weaver of Mauritius
Common Kingfisher
Shot this full frame shot at Bharatpur. This sparrow-sized bird has the typical short-tailed, large-headed kingfisher profile; it has blue upperparts, orange underparts and a long bill. It feeds mainly on fish, caught by diving, and has special visual adaptions to enable it to see prey under water.

Shot this at Bharatpur on a foggy morning.
A work in progress
This delightful yellow bird fluttered around the beaches hunting for twigs and leaves during my trip to Mauritius. It was terrible to see the completed nests fall from the branches after a night of rain. The bird would seem confused the next day morning, and I hope resume construction.
Rose Ringed Parakeet
The Rose-ringed Parakeet (Psittacula krameri), also known as the Ring-necked Parakeet, is a gregarious tropical Afro-Asian parakeet species that has an extremely large range. Both males and females have the ability to mimic human speech. First it listens to its surroundings, and then it copies the voice of the human speaker. Some people hand-raise Rose-ringed parakeet chicks for this purpose. Such parrots then become quite tame and receptive to learning. They can also show emotions similar to human beings and adjust easily to family life. They take time to mimic.
