Alpine Swifts and jack fruit

Mid afternoon I whiled away a few hours on the balcony or in the grounds of the property watching the wildlife, which included macaques and giant squirrels. Overhead I spotted two alpine swifts and three crested goshawks, whilst in the bushes were male and female yellow-browed bulbul, white-cheeked barbets, Nilgiri flowerpecker and golden-fronted leafbird. On the pond, white-throated kingfisher and green bee-eaters.

White-throated kingfisher.

This jack fruit tree is growing in the garden.
