17th Feb.

The Oropendulas started building their nests again on the 3rd February. This time they chose the Jobo tree adjacent to their usual nesting tree and the nests are about 25′ lower than before. It appears that the nesting birds are all young and that an older bird is monitoring their nest building ability. He comes to the branches, hops around and inspects each nest individually.

28th Dec., 2009. A new kingfisher came to the fishponds. Luckily all the visitors saw it and took some photos. It was a very small bird, quite similar to the Green-and-rufous Kingfisher but it appeared to have a darker head. It did not bob it’s head when it called, as the Green-and-rufous Kingfisher does. Interestingly, it had a white tag on it’s left leg.
