This species, like other bee-eaters, is a richly-coloured, slender bird. It is

predominantly green; its face has blue sides with a black eye stripe, and a

yellow and brown throat; the beak is black. It can reach a length of 24-26

cm, including the two elongated central tail feathers. Sexes are alike.

This is a bird which breeds in sub-tropical semi-desert with a few trees,

such as acacia. It winters in open woodland or grassland. As the name

suggests, bee-eaters predominantly eat insects, especially bees, wasps and

hornets, which are caught in the air by sorties from an open perch.

However, this species probably takes more dragonflies than any other food

item. Its preferred hunting perch is telephone wires if available.

These bee-eaters are gregarious, nesting colonially in sandy banks. They

make a relatively long tunnel in which the 4 to 8, spherical white eggs are

laid. Both the male and the female take care of the eggs.

The Purple Sunbird, Cinnyris asiaticus, is a sunbird. The sunbirds are a

group of very small Old World passerine birds which feed largely on nectar,

although they will also take insects, especially when feeding young. Flight is

fast and direct on their short wings. Most species can take nectar by

hovering like a hummingbird, but usually perch to feed most of the time.

Purple Sunbird is an abundant resident breeder across tropical southern

Asia from the Persian Gulf to Southeast Asia. One to three eggs are laid in a

suspended nest in a tree.

Purple Sunbirds are tiny, only 10cm long. They have medium-length thin

down-curved bills and brush-tipped tubular tongues, both adaptations to their

nectar feeding.

acha work to nahe but koshesh. Deosai Plains make up one of the last

frontiers of natural habitat for the Himalayan Brown Bear, a creature that

once roamed the mountains freely. The Deosai National Park was

established in 1993 to secure the survival of the bear and its habitat. Having

long been a prize kill for poachers and hunters, the bear, Pakistan's largest

omnivore, now has a hope for survival in Deosai where its number has

increased from just 19 in 1993 to 40 in 2005.

The Deosai Plains are also home to the Himalayan Ibex, Red Fox, Golden

Marmot, Wolf, the Ladakh Urial, the Snow Leopard, and over 124 resident

and migratory birds. Birds in the park include the Golden Eagle,

Lammergeier, Griffon Vulture, Laggar Falcon, Peregrine Falcon, Kestrel,

Indian Sparrowhawk and Snowcock.

The Baya Weaver (Ploceus philippinus) is a weaver found across South and

Southeast Asia. They inhabit grassland, cultivated areas, scrub and

secondary growths usually near fresh or brackish water. They are

widespread and common within their distribution area but are prone to local,

seasonal movement.[2]

Despite their species name, they are not found in the Philippines. Three

geographical races are recognized. The race philippinus is found through

much of mainland India. The race burmanicus is found eastwards into

Southeast Asia. A third race, travancoreensis is darker above and found in

southwest India.[3]

These are sparrow sized (15 cm) and in their non-breeding plumage, both

males and females resemble female house sparrows. They have a stout

conical bill and a short square tail. Non-breeding males and females look

alike, dark brown streaked fulvous buff above, plain (unstreaked) whitish

fulvous below, eyebrows long buffy, bill is horn coloured and no mask.

Breeding males have a bright yellow crown, dark brown mask, blackish

brown bill, upper parts are dark brown streaked with yellow, with a yellow

breast and cream buff below.[4]

The Oriental Turtle-dove (Streptopelia orientalis) is a member of the bird

family Columbidae, doves and pigeons.

It has two distinctive races, S. o. orientalis in the central Siberian taiga,

and S. o. meena in open woodland in central Asia. Two white eggs, as

for all pigeons and doves, are laid in a twig nest in a tree.

Southernmost populations are resident, but most other birds migrate

south to winter in India, southeast Asia, and southern Japan. This

species is a rare vagrant to northern and western Europe. S. o.

orientalis occurs as a rarity in western Alaska and British Columbia.

This small species is very similar in plumage to its European

counterpart, the Turtle Dove. It is a little larger than that species,

particularly in the case of orientalis, about the same size as a Collared

Dove. It shares the black and white striped patch on the side of its

neck, but the breast is less pink, and the orange-brown wing feathers of

Turtle Dove are replaced with a browner hue, and darker centres.

The tail is wedge shaped, again like the Turtle Dove, but S. o. orientalis

has a grey tip to the tail. S. o. meena has a white tip to its tail like

Turtle Dove. The flight is more relaxed and direct than that of its relative.

The call is quite different from the purr of the Turtle Dove.
