Nest built on top of solitary 
trees, generally Pipal, Janu- 
ary, Febuary. A plucky 
bird, I sent a man up to a 
nest on a large Pipal on 
which the bird was sitting; 
on the man’s approach she 
went for him, driving him 
off, he then got a stick, even 
then she refused to allow him 
to go near nest, she had 
a newly hatched chick so I 
called man down. 
Only one nest found, this was 
on top of soUtarj^ Pipal tree ; 
there was no doubt of the 
bird as I watched her with 
binoculars whilst the man 
was climbing tree. There are 
numbers of this and G. tenui- 
rostris in this District, and as 
there are no cliffs for them to 
build on, they have perforce 
to build on trees. December. 
I have found three nests of 
this bird, two contained eggs, 
the 3rd a chick, two were on 
top of solitary trees, the 3rd 
(7th January, 21), a hard-set 
egg, was an old P. bengalen- 
sis nest, occupied by that 
bird only last year. Decem- 
ber, January. 
Very common. November to 
January. 
Birds are common, but I have 
only found 4 nests. One 
pair have each year used the 
same site, i.e., about 30 ft. 
up a Pipal tree, where a large 
hmb separates; this pair have 
very handsomely marked 
eggs. March, April,
