Wetland Works

The next stage of wetland works is now under way. The sound of heavy machinery is incongruous with our usual peaceful existence but there is an air of excitement and anticipation as we watch the work progress.

The birds feeding on the nearby Ficus benjamina seem undisturbed by the activity. The mass of fruit is being enjoyed by a variety of birds including Double-eyed Fig Parrots, Barred Cuckoo-shrikes, Metallic Starlings, Fig Birds, Yellow Orioles and Koel.
