Haha, Hej Alfred,... it's called bokke in konkani alright....
Before, I used to call it 'cranes' or 'storks', but after going out for
birdwatching sessions, I've learnt that it's properly called the Intermediate
Egret. You also get the lesser-Intermediate Egret, or small egret, in Goa and
the way to spot the difference would be looking out for yellow legs instead of
the Intermediate's black legs.
Right behind my 'lilla stugan' (or little forest cottage) in the forests of
Tyresö, I have a bird known in Swedish as Koltrast that's built a nest and
while the mother sits by the eggs, the father is all over the place, making
quite a flapping noise and picking up food for his new family. The eggs have
not hatched yet, but perhaps it will soon.
This is what the bird looks like http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koltrast
Ahh, spring and summer in Sweden! Nice...
