INDIAN RED RUMPED SWALLOW

Common around arpora, over hotels and around the salt pans. 2016



ORIENTAL MAGPIE ROBIN

Very common around Arpora Goa. Female sitting on wires in Bondla.




SMALL MINIVET

Seen most days in Arpora, Bondla, Baga Hill and Mayam Lake. This is a stunning male.


WHITE BREASTED KINGFISHER

Still my favourite bird, so really pleased its common in Goa



TAMIL YEOMAN

Tambi Surla Temple, common along the river.

WHITE BROWED WAGTAIL

Just a stunning looking bird, common in our hotel in Goa








RUFOUS WOODPECKER

Not always east to see but with a little patience can be found in Arpora Woods. They seem to like the Ants nests made from dead leaves and suspended in tree branch's.
