A bird with a wonderful yodeling call, the green sandpiper (Tringa ochropus) is a small wader or shorebird. Its dark, almost black upperparts, pale underparts, and white rump are distinctive. It frequently bobs up and down when standing.

The picture in this post was taken in Jabalpur and I have seen quite a few waders at the same location like Common Sandpiper, Common Redshank, Wood Sandpiper, Lapwings, etc. The Green Sandpiper often appears nervous and will fly off with a low zig-zagging flight when disturbed or threatened.

Green sandpiper doesn’t nest on the ground, like a similar Common Sandpiper and Wood Sandpiper, but in the former nests of birds, often up in the trees.

The king of urban skies - "Pariah or Black Kite ( काली   चील) - Milvus migrans", you can find these birds soaring above urban landscape all over India. In the middle of New Delhi, you could actually see 100s of Black Kites.

Bird Stories - Interesting Facts - Common Kingfisher

By

I have been photographing, watching and observing   Common Kingfisher छोटा किलकिला, राम चिरैया, शरीफन, निता मछराला (Alcedo atthis)   for almost 8 years now. Over this time I have learned a few facts, observed some interesting behavior, and read a lot. Sharing some of these here: Common Kingfisher छोटा किलकिला, राम चिरैया, शरीफन, निता मछराला (Alcedo atthis) 1. How to differentiate between Male & Female? Both sexes of  Common Kingfisher  look very similar, females are slightly smaller than males. But the magic is in the mandible (bill or beak), males have all-black upper and lower mandibles while females have conspicuous orange lower mandibles. Obviously, females love to put lipstick on. It is hard to differentiate sexes in juveniles, they develop color in mandible only after a year or so.
