Birds and the Like in the Backyard

Posted on March 24, 2010

A Regular to my Backyard, The Red Vented Bulbul

I managed to catch a lot of images today in the evening. It started with this Red Vented Bulbul sitting right above where I was standing with my camera.

Two is Company

Soon the lone bird was joined by another one, and they were quite oblivious to me! And that is the way I like it.

Rope Walking Squirrels

Then I clicked these rope walking squirrels. At one point one of the squirrels was walking upside down but I was too slow to react and could not capture it.

I can See You!

I see the sparrows all the time but never managed to capture a decent shot before today. I liked this one, once again it was sitting quite close to me.

Homeward Bound!

Then this group decided to fly overhead giving me a good opportunity to click the picture.

Moon
Half Moon

Finally there was moon and I decided to call it a day. It was of course a holiday for me today.

    Beautiful!!! I have tried to capture those egrets flying in formation overhead, but have not succeeded so far… and the squirrels were too good! last week, I went to pick samhith up from school, and there was a kingfisher sitting right near me…. i really regretted not carrying along my camera

    I thought Red Vented Bulbul is a very common bird Manish!

    Is it a new job Tarun?

    Anu, I know, there have now been so many times when I see a bird in front of my eyes and I have no camera, I exactly know what you feel!
