@mharshaips Congratulations 🤘🏼

The Sirkeer Malkoha aka Lipstick bird was my ‘Nemesis bird’ which eluded me in 5 years of birding around Delhi-NCR. Finally sighted it on a beautiful morning of birding in the Aravali habitat around Bhondsi. #DelhiNCR #birding #birdphotography #BirdsSeenIn2026 #IndiAves

The Bronze-winged Jacana is called the "Lily-trotter" or "Jesus bird," for its ability to "walk on water" by balancing on floating vegetation. Its “Spider" Feet - disproportionately long toes and claws- spread the bird's weight over a large surface area, allowing it to walk across thin lily pads/ floating weeds. Social "Role Reversal" - Polyandry : The Bronze-winged Jacana is famous for a total reversal of traditional bird roles. The females are significantly larger (about 60% heavier) and more aggressive than the males. A single female defends a large territory that contains the smaller territories of up to four males- her Harem. She will mate with all of them.The males do all the work - build nests, incubate the eggs, and raise the chicks Survival Tactics •If a predator (like a hawk or snake) approaches, the father can scoop up his tiny chicks and tuck them under his wings, carrying them to a safer part of the marsh. •When threatened and unable to fly away, these birds are known to submerge their entire bodies underwater, leaving only their beaks above the surface to breathe write up credit : Gemini AI, birds of the indian subcontinent, birda.org

Dear @elonmusk, I don’t know if this will ever reach you — but I hope it does. Over the last few months, the changes to the algorithm on 𝕏 have quietly hurt one of the most passionate creator groups on this platform: photographers. We are not chasing trends. We are not chasing outrage. We are chasing light. We wake up before sunrise, stand in silence for hours, wait for a bird to take flight, a cloud to break, a moment to happen. Then we go home and spend even more time editing — not for clout, but to tell a story, to share beauty, to inspire. And yet today, our work barely reaches the very people it’s meant for — fellow photographers, nature lovers, and creators who once made this platform feel alive. The timeline now feels noisy, rushed, and disconnected. Photography — one of the purest, most positive forms of creation — is being quietly buried. This community never asked for virality.We only asked for visibility. 𝕏 has always been a place where photographers could grow, learn, and feel seen. Right now, many of us feel invisible. I truly hope this is heard and considered. A small adjustment could bring back an entire creative ecosystem that wants nothing more than to keep sharing beauty in a noisy world. To fellow photographers: If this resonates, please repost. Let our voices be seen — together. — This platform means a lot to us. We just want to feel at home here again.

@Touseefraina @mingasherpa I agree

Mr. @mingasherpa (IAS) is an outstanding public servant and an exceptional leader. I had the privilege of knowing him during his tenure as Deputy Commissioner, Baramulla, where he consistently came across as humble, approachable, and deeply committed to public service. His leadership has been defined by integrity, efficiency, and a sincere dedication to public welfare. I wish him the very best in his future assignments and hope he continues to serve with the same excellence and commitment.

#Friends don't let other friends do silly things.....Alone !!! Striated Yuhina A highly social bird, often moving in noisy flocks through forest canopies. Very gregarious-never alone- always in a tight pack. Very active; constantly hopping and fluttering through branches with soft, twittering contact calls, often part of mixed-species hunting parties @Team_eBird @IndiAves @Avibase @BirdWatchDaily @WildlifeMag @Natures_Voice @wildlifeInd @bbcwildlifemag @NatGeoIndia @ThePhotoHour @NikonIndia @indian_pitta @AudubonSociety @NatGeo @birdsoftheworld @passivelyactive @NatureIn_Focus @WeNaturalists @WM_POTD @pnkjshm @moefcc #BirdsSeenIn2025 #BirdTwitter @BNHSIndia #IndiAves #Birb #ThePhotoHour #BBCWildlifePOTD #birds #birding #Nikon #FeatheredFriends #loadin4K

FASCINATING DOCUMENTATION OF COURTSHIP FEEDING ATTEMPT!! see video Probable Courtship Feeding Attempt in Black-breasted Thrush (Turdus dissimilis), Dosdewa (Sribhumi), Assam A subtle and intriguing interaction between a male and female Black-breasted Thrush. The sequence unfolded as follows: . Both birds bathed briefly in nearby shallow puddles (common preening behaviour that may precede close social encounters) . The male then departed momentarily, returned and positioned himself directly facing the female. . He then regurgitated the intact berry, held it briefly in his bill, and then re-swallowed it. No bill-to-bill transfer occurred, and the female displayed no visible solicitation, begging, wing-fluttering, or approach. . This behaviour closely resembles nuptial (courtship) feeding widely documented across the genus Turdus: males regurgitate food items—frequently berries or insects—to demonstrate provisioning ability, provide nutritional support to the female. The directed orientation toward the female, timing within the species’ breeding window (April–July in Northeast India), and the sequence all support the interpretation of an attempted courtship feed. . But we can't be 100% sure—it could just be normal berry processing with her nearby by chance. Without clear acceptance or her begging, it's an educated guess rather than a definitive courtship display. Still, the directed orientation makes it feel intentional! Nature keeps us guessing!! . This observation highlights the understated yet adaptive social behaviors of an under-documented Asian thrush species. . Black-breasted Thrushes are known to be monogamous during the breeding season, with both parents contributing to nestling provisioning—often via regurgitation—so such interactions, even if incomplete, fit within the broader natural history of the genus. . @Team_eBird @IndiAves @Avibase @BirdWatchDaily @WildlifeMag @Natures_Voice @wildlifeInd @bbcwildlifemag @NatGeoIndia @ThePhotoHour @NikonIndia @indian_pitta @AudubonSociety @NatGeo @birdsoftheworld @passivelyactive @NatureIn_Focus @WeNaturalists @WM_POTD @pnkjshm @moefcc #BirdsSeenIn2025 #BirdTwitter @BNHSIndia #IndiAves #Birb #ThePhotoHour #BBCWildlifePOTD #birds #birding #Nikon #FeatheredFriends #loadin4K
