A Red-wattled Lapwing (Vanellus indicus) poses for me on the grounds . It is large wader distinguished with a red fleshy wattle in front of each eye, black tipped red bill and yellow legs, found in West Asia, throughout South Asia. It is quite abundant in India and can be seen in both urban and rural environments.

The local names for the red-wattled lapwing are mainly onomatopoeic in origin “Titodi” in Gujarati, “Titeeri” in Hindi and “Titibha” in Kannada (and in Sanskrit - coming back from my high school lessons, decades back!).

Photographed two different species of Barbets - feeding on guavas.

1. coppersmith Barbet (Psilopogon haemacephalus), best known for its metronomic call that has been likened to a coppersmith striking metal with a hammer, and
2. Brown-headed Barbet (Psilopogon zeylanicus), also known as the Large Green Barbet.

The barbets get their name from the bristles which fringe their heavy bills.
