Orange headed thrush, Indian Pitta and resident birds such as oriole, spotted owlet and hoopoe can be sighted on this campus. |
Except for the hoopoe and the walled-in hornbills, the young are fed by both parents. |
The hoopoe is one of the most widely known and attractive breeding birds in our country. |
The eggs are usually white but, in the hoopoe, may be olive, brownish, bluish, or greenish and are sometimes spotted. |
Norfolk birders know the hoopoe as a spring and autumn passage migrant, but only in small numbers. |
Feeding quietly, a hoopoe can be surprisingly difficult to detect on the ground especially when probing with long decurved bill. |
