Puttaraju ji, Liked your post for showing flora and fauna interaction, especially the Malabar Pied Hornbill. Male has dark orbital skin and female is the one with white orbital skin. Distribution: seen on the western seaboard (southern western ghats) and eastern seaboard (Andhra Pradesh and Odisha) but here it is seen further inland also. Images are also excellent.
'Is this Loranthus sp' *Dendrophthoe falcata* of Loranthaceae is my call as the leaves seem opposite and flowers regular, color variation is known.
