As we gazed upwards at those backlit migratory warblers, I noticed a Bare-throated Tiger-Heron … nesting! And then there was a Green Heron , not only showing us its nest, but also an egg. I’m happy to say that the ones right on the other side of a low wall were not so large. And yet, there it was.

The Large-billed Crow ( video ) is one of the natural enemies – in the study above, it predated 19 eggs from four pitta nests. I hope he is right. Unfortunately, the house this nest is built on is about to be destroyed – no tenant rights for birds in China, I am afraid.
