I thank the staff of Fisheries Dept. Aquarium at Neyyar Dam for showing me this nesting site near their entrance. They claimed there is a bird nest and chicks inside the tree which I saw through the small crack (the first 3 pictures) and I waited hours to catch the parent bird. :))
Lenny, thank you very much for the ID and about the field guide. I should have one. :)) Thank you Lenny.
Worth the wait Chief.Nice shots.
There is a wonderful field guide,invaluable to birders in India.

My copy is 13 years old so by now there must be a revised edition.
