Flocks of Babui in a paddy field

Golden autumn sunlight falls on an Aman paddy field in the late afternoon. Flocks of Babui pakhi (weaver bird) fly over the field. They sometimes descend onto the grass in search of food and at other times sit together on electric wires. This photo story captures the paddy fields and birds at Shailmari village, Dhunat upazila, Bogura.
