It is not difficult to spot the Blue Throat near the Ganda Nala (open drainage) but it is certainly a game of patience to wait for it to come out in the open, relatively speaking. After 45 minutes of sitting patiently this is what I got. If I do not get to see the bird…

Indian Pond Heron
I got this Indian Pond Heron in the neighborhood. I got to take the first shot from a very close distance but I messed it up, it came out completely out of focus. The good thing is that is still Sunday to take a few more shots. Got to see and click many birds. Looking…
Another Blue Throat Picture
It has been busy and more busy with work. How the days fly. Already a month from2011 has gone!
Purple Sunbird in Flight
It is very rare for me to get a complete bird in flight. I often manage to chop off the wings, blur it or do something or the other so that I eventually have to delete that picture. I got it somewhat right this time may be because Purple Sunbird is a very small bird….
Brahminy Starling
I don’t know why but the Brahminy Starling is also called Brahminy Myna. Clicked this one on Sunday, and I am so happy to think that I can do a bird round tomorrow as well, otherwise bird rounds just mean weekend for me. Have to say thank you to Siddhartha Joshi for asking the camera…
White Brested Kingfisher
Today was a good day for birds. Got this White Brested Kingfisher quite early on during my walk. Sometimes it will run away when I am miles away and today it just stayed there! Hence some pictures that I like.
Birds at Sunset
From my usual bird round, took it a few weeks ago. The one against the sun is a Jungle Babbler and the smaller ones are sparrows. Came back from Mumbai yesterday night, the GoAir flight was delayed. Should be heading to Mumbai again in the coming week. I had a very interesting discussion with the taxi driver…
Red Brested Flycatcher
Red Brested Flycatcher is one beautiful bird, it would let me come quite close with my 30-700mm lens and let me take a few decent pictures. Managed to get it identified on Indiamike as usual. The male has a red spot but not the one I spotted. But let us see what I get this…
Lazy Sunday Photo- Black Ibis from Gir, Gujarat
There was too much light, the bird was partially in shade but I had to click the Black Ibis. I can also see the picture of the bird tagged as Red Naped Ibis. I saw it many times but never got a good photo opportunity.
