It is vocal through the day, and its three-note call enunciates the term “brain fever”. The bird is in its breeding season and residents of IIT-M campus report being woken up to this phrase in the dead of the night
Birder Rama Neelamegam lets on about a mid-click blooper from 2017. Executed at the woods of the Theosophical Society, the photographic click was a half measure a half bird, actually. It left a common hawk-cuckoo’s barred tail to the imagination.
The bird was at close quarters, and a neophyte with the camera then, Rama could not make the most of the moment. The image was clicked at the speed of greased lightning, but the other hand failed to rotate the focus-ring just that wee bit, to get the complete bird. ....

Though a resident, this pint-sized bird remains largely elusive in Chennai’s urban waterbodies. State of India’s Birds 2020 report has raised concerns over its declining numbers
Amidst work-from-home, many now organise their
soirees around the telly and root for their IPL team, with diehard supporters wearing face paint and twirling a real white cricket ball.
So, here are two ready images from these unusual times to get a grasp of the Cotton Pygmy Goose’s dimensions.
Hold that cricket ball in the paw to feel this bird’s weight. Expect the bird to be a couple of grams lighter. Hold that 10.1-inch WFH tablet to picture the bird’s length from bill to retrices. Expect the bird to be a couple of millimetres shorter. ....

The Terek Sandpiper’s forehead is a cliff dressed in feathers. The bird would still be headbutted out of a “Mr. Steep Forehead” contest. The Pied Avocet, also a Chennai migrant, is enough to dash its hopes. Placed next to the Avocet’s forehead, Mount Thor with its daunting cliff is just a hopelessly flat-lined ECG lead.
The Terek Sandpiper’s more attention-grabbing feature is its upcurved bill. Here again, the Pied Avocet is comfortably placed above the competition.
