I managed to click some pictures at the water pots again. Had a few Bulbuls too this time. Some sunbirds do come but it is very difficult to get a decent shot of them. How I am hankering after the 100-400mm lens.
The Pigeons are now a regular. I used to click the pictures from inside my room thinking the birds would not come if I went outside in the balcony as there is very little space but that is not the case.
The light made the neck of the Pigeon look quite colorful!
This one looked undecided for quite sometime. Actually all the birds carefully look around before dipping their beaks.
Managed to catch a few Bulbuls too this time. They come in ones and twos and really don’t seem to be bothered about my presence.
A Bulbul also decides that it is time to say to hell with the world and drink some water, how harmful that black ponting in my direction could be?
And then there was this beauty (I think it is a bee eating Bird but I could be wrong) in the distance for which my 70-300mm lens is no good. I am really drooling about a 100-400 but I wonder how much more zoom do I get?
beautiful shots
Humans are never satisfied by whatever they have in hand.
Nice pictures,
yeah the last one is called a “green bee eater” .. and eats bees 🙂
Beautiful!!! even at our place, the pigeons and crows dont fly away when we open the window, but the bulbuls are a bit more reticent..as to sunbirds, they vanish the moment we approach!
and the last one is a small green bee eater… good pic!
you being really lucky as for taking pictures so beautifully of these birds, i also would like to take snaps such a way
Tarun, I rarely have an spending urge, so do not try and talk me out of it.
Thanks TF for stopping by.
Thank you FM.
Anu I agree I find the sun birds the most difficult to capture!
Thank you Manish, I am trying to become a bird watcher.
Doli, that is a Dove and where is the post you have promised with the bird pictures.
TF thanks for pitching in, my beti is finally asleep and I am on the net again.
Sorry if you are offended never meant that,
You have become an expert ‘birdwatcher’. Nice pics.
hey in the “Do I Take a Dip?” picture, is that a pigeon or a dove? I saw the same brownish bird here.. so was wondering what bird it is
Doli – “do i take a dip” is a dove. the first two images are pigeons
Very nice pictures. You have a Nikon, right ?
No Pooja this is not with the Nikon point and shoot this is with the Canon DSLR.
