I am the few of the fortunate who occasionally get to see few birds of different variety around my house in Bangalore. I have captured few of them in my camera and here they are. One such beautiful bird is Common Tailorbird.
They have greenish upper body plumage and rust colored forehead and crown. They are unique because of their long upright tail.
They are easy to identify even if they are hidden vegetation, by their loud calls. These birds are insectivorous.
They get their name from the way their nest is built where the edges of a large leaf are pierced and sewn together with plant fibre or spider silk in the form of cradle.
