The hooting of the Indian Cuckoo ( Koel as commonly known) awakened me up early in the morning at the resort , the four lovely hooting notes of the koel repeated in short intervals forces you to come out to watch the birds in early morning. The cuckoo lays its eggs in the nest of other birds , which hatch them and rear for some time.
As the sun rises you hear the sweet chirping of the small minivet peeping out of their nests on the trees in the resort.
