As we moved across the landscape in search of the majestic Sarus Cranes, we were fortunate enough to find a pair and photograph them beautifully. However, the highlight of the morning turned out to be a smaller, more subtle subject hidden within the harvested paddy fields.</p> <p>While scanning the area, something unusual caught my eye—a large, chunky bird that had landed on the dumps of harvested paddy.</p>https://blog.easybirding.cc/posts/emeralds-of-the-andaman-a-close-encounter-with-the-long-tailed-parakeet/Sun, 04 Jan 2026 04:27:15 +0000https://blog.easybirding.cc/posts/emeralds-of-the-andaman-a-close-encounter-with-the-long-tailed-parakeet/<p>The Andaman Islands are a treasure trove for bird enthusiasts, offering a unique blend of endemic species and vibrant tropical residents. Among the most stunning sights in these lush forests is the Long-tailed Parakeet (<em>Psittacula longicauda</em>). On a recent trek through the island canopy, I was treated to a spectacular view of this charismatic bird.</p> <p><img alt="A vibrant Long-tailed Parakeet perched on a branch, showcasing its lime-green plumage and striking red facial markings." loading="lazy" src="https://blog.easybirding.cc/images/emeralds-of-the-andaman-a-close-encounter-with-the-long-tailed-parakeet/image_2.jpg"></p>https://blog.easybirding.cc/posts/tiny-terrors-of-the-foothills-encountering-the-collared-owlet-in-rongtong/Sat, 03 Jan 2026 15:27:05 +0000https://blog.easybirding.cc/posts/tiny-terrors-of-the-foothills-encountering-the-collared-owlet-in-rongtong/<p>Deep in the lush, green foothills of the Himalayas lies Rongtong, a legendary destination for birdwatchers seeking the diverse avian life of West Bengal. On a recent trip, I had the pleasure of crossing paths with one of the region&rsquo;s most charismatic residents: the Collared Owlet (<em>Glaucidium brodiei</em>).</p> <p>Measuring barely 15 centimeters in length, the Collared Owlet is the smallest owl found in Asia. Despite its diminutive size, it is a ferocious predator, often taking down prey significantly larger than itself. What makes this species particularly fascinating to birders is its diurnal nature; unlike many of its nocturnal cousins, the Collared Owlet is frequently active during the day, making it a prime subject for photography if you can manage to spot it among the dense foliage.</p>
