Me and my family regularly visit a resort owned by Club Mahindra called
Big Beach. I love visiting that place as they have a nice beach and
also because of the activities & yummy food :) . I heard a lot of
chirping in the trees and wondered how the birds looked like. So I took
up the activity of
birding also known as
bird watching. Here are some of the photographs of the birds I took:

House Crow |
To attract some birds I put some fresh fruit in the balcony. The only
things I attracted were insects and crows. Here is a photo of a
House Crow having watermelon.

These are some photos of
Red-vented Bulbuls enjoying the shade and protection of the tree. I was happy to spot these beautiful birds.

Purple-rumped Sunbird |
Here is a photo of a female
Purple-rumped Sunbird. I consider
myself lucky for being able to take a photo of this bird because a group
sunbirds were flying everywhere really fast and I thought couldn't take
a photo, but, luckily a female sunbird happened to perch on a branch
and suck some nectar from the flowers, and then I took the photo :) .

Helmeted Guineafowls |
Near the beach I happened to see a rasp of
Helmeted Guineafowl. These birds were very noisy.

Butterfly |
a
Butterfly with 2 separate heads! Other than these I also spotted
a Purple Sunbird and a
Babbler (not sure whether Yellow-billed Babbler or Jungle Babbler).
My trip to Pondicherry was a very memorable trip and I will always be eager to go back for another visit.
