Cute little Busy Bee!!! The Princess of hill station is filled with mist. While the whole scene is gloomy and dull, the morning sun rays illuminated the dried strings of the greens. The cute tailor bird is up early and busy collecting nesting material. On one of the trip, she decided to stop by with the nesting material to look at me. With the nesting string glowing in the twilight as well as the cute birdy glowing in the golden light, it is a mesmerizing watch. #kodaikanal #princessofhillstation #kodai #berijamlake #kodailake #tamilnadutourism #tnwildlife #tnbirds #tailorbird #nestingbird #cute #lovely #wildlife #photography #wildphotography #lovely #alvislazarus #wildlifephotographer (at Kodaikanal - The Princess of Hills)
