BrianMorin: A sure sign of summer. This bird is most likely an Alder or Willow flycatcher but without hearing the call they can't be safely separated. The bird lacks the peaked head as well as long wings and tail of a Pewee.The Pewee bill looks a bit longer in proportion to the head and is not so conical. These features for all three species are subtle making identification challenging but the giveaway in this case is the lack of a peaked head.

BrianMorin: Nice video. The bird's tonal quality, notes and pitch are similar to the opening of the American Robin's song.

Lesser Flamingo, Mumbai suburbs.
Every year, more than 100,000 Lesser flamingos (along with a few greater flamingos) migrate to Mumbai from November to May. They inhabit alkaline water bodies and some coastal areas until the onset of the rains.
In the picture is a (small) part of a large group doing a courtship dance where they move together in groups, raise their necks and swing their heads from side to side.
