Playing to the Nature's Tune

The Indian Scimitar Babbler
Pomatorhinus erythrogenys.

Bird again but a special one at that,
resident breeding bird
shy, rare to sight and having an unusual
calling - so musically synchronized
to hear the male and female babbling's.
These avians plays a crucial role
in the ecosystem as seed disburser,
scavenger, preying on insects and
above all it is a vital sign denoting to the
ecological health of area.
