Well I had been observing a pair of White Cheeked Barbets excavating a hole in one of the trees nearby about two months back..... Well observed it for quite some time ....... It nested... laid an egg .. hatched...saw it feeding the hatch-ling (only one) from afar.........I did not approach the nest till I was certain the the hatch-ling was about to fly away..... I then got myself in a suitable position & then over the last three days sitting on a parapet wall 3 to 4 hrs at a time without any movement so that as not to alarm the birds away from the nest, but on a stopover to it, saw the pair of them flitting in to feed the little birdie..... Must have shot more than 600 to 700 shots over the last three days.... deleted most of them..... Well this one is OK..... Well, the little birdie flew away from the nest yesterday..... The mother to encourage it would part feed what it has in its beak & then go sit on a nearby branch with the balance of the grub in its beak calling out to the fledgeling........ It went on for quite some time yesterday till the young chick flew a good around 20 to 25 ft to it's mother........ Bye Bye young one..... Have a good life......
