the bul bul story

It's a luck  a wonderful opportunity to follow a life of a redwhiskeredbulbulwe were back from Calicut, saw a bul bul  & a nest on our money plant nestled under our sunshade

it's  bit difficult to watch this nest as it was perched under the sunshade, using our step stool, and using the pillar to support, one handed mobile phone photos & a DIY GoPro stand & and a led light source, setting GoPro at night makes shooting easy, mainly not to disturb the bird, suprise attacks from the bul buls, and support from my spotter to place camera when the birds are away

Lady bul bul was in the nest for the whole day breaks for feeding, we were frequently monitoring the nest when she was out for feeding, saw one egg a brown dotted, later one more it was bit small

Lady bul bul always in the nest, starting the process of hatching, ocassional feeding breaks, nights seems she is having a sound sleep hiding her head in the nest, but a slight motion will wake her 

on day 10 one egg was hatched couldn't see any remains of the shell, the next one was also hatched the same day

feeding frenzy by male and female begins in the morning with smalls insects, and fruits still continues for the whole day

12 days after hatching both chicks came out from the nest and slowly started to move away from the nest and flew away the same evening we saw the mom n dad with chicks flying to their new nests
