DEAR BIRDY

RECENTLY I OBSERVED A PAIR OF JUNGLE BABBLER CONSTRUCTING THEIR NEST IN A BETTLE NUT TREE AT A HEIGHT OF 12M FROM THE GROUND IN MY GARDEN HERE IN MALDA, WEST BENGAL ( ALT = 29.39M ASL). COULD YOU PLEASE INFORM ME CONSTRUCTION OF NESTS BY THIS SPECIES AT THIS HEIGHT IS COMMON OR AN UNUSUAL ONE.

Hi there,

yes I have seen many Babbler nests at low heights. For example I photographed a Common Babbler which had built its nest in a shrub. The nest was less than two feet from the ground. Recently, Yellow-Billed Babblers built their nest in my garden in a mango tree at a height of about 6 feet. At present a Yellow-eyed babbler is nesting and its nest is about two feet from the ground. Last year I shot some Jungle Babblers whose nest was in a shrub, and the nest height was about 10 feet from the ground.

12M does sound a bit unusual to me...

regards,
