Hi Melody thanks for your visit and comment. it is indeed a beautiful bird...  it was only when I read about this bird that I learnt that it chooses a rotten branch to peck a hole ... hence the (dead and rotten) drumstick branch... Regards... Dev

These pictures ARE beautiful. I mean the bird is beautiful LOL. The close-up shots are really great. Great balancing act by the bird, sitting vertically on the trunk! But drumstick tree is a strange choice to build a nest. As far as I know, the trunk isn't very thick, but it has still managed to peck a hole...

Thanks for sharing.

Hi Lakshmi... Nature has so much to show... If only we had the time to stand and see... thanks for the visit and the comment... Dev
