In our second episode we continue to explore birds found in our neighboring scrubland. Today’s conversation is about  Drongos, Shrikes, Quails, Bee-Eater, Bulbul, raptors and other interesting birds  found in this habitat across various  seasons. We will talk about some characteristic features and calls of these birds, which will help you identify them in the field.
