Today i had my first sighting of this delightfull bird in the SDM campus here in Hubli. What made it really special was that the Munia was at distance of  just 5 feet.

I was also able to see a nest of a swallow built of mud, the construction ingenious and the location perfectly protected against the elements. instinct or intelligence, I wonder. If its just instinct, then we would be better off governed by just our instincts.
