3rd time unlucky with nestling at my backyard.
This was the last pictures taken on the morning of 28thMarch. The mother was trying to cover her baby, but you can see the baby head protruding there. By evening the two chicks were gone.
I suspect this was the real culprit. It perched on electric wire just above the" jambu" tree on the evening of 27th March. This barbet must have seen the chicks/ nest and waiting for the right moment to strike. I have not seen the actual attack, but from the past history (feasting on Tree Sparrow) - this is the prime suspect.
