LOCK DOWN EFFECT .....COPPER SMITH BARBET PLAYING HIDE AND SEEK
Nationwide and worldwide lockdown does have a tremendous positive impact on the environment. Nature itself is in a recovery mode and wildlife and birds are claiming that which respectfully belongs to them. In such a backdrop I have been photographing all the different types of birds that are visiting the foliage near my terrace in Kalina, Mumbai. Of the many different species, the Copper Smith Barbet is a bird that normally prefers to stay in the forest locales. So it was quite surprising to see it in the urban center of Mumbai and proliferating healthily. This one was a sub-adult bird that was actually playing hide and seek with me or rather with my camera and I tres to photograph it as much as I could. THE ADULT COPPER SMITH BARBET Add caption
