There are a lot of Bulbuls in my area and the most common are the red vented ones. So I often do not click them anymore thinking I have clicked enough in the past. But then comes a day when the light is good and the bird is in the clear and I get tempted…

White Wagtail
One of the advantages of working on a college campus is that you get to see birds even at your workplace. After a long time I got out for my ATM run and managed to get a White Wagtail as well.
Tree Pie
Another of those days where I am hard pressed to think of a few coherent lines to go along with this picture. This is also from the neighborhood.
Wire Tailed Swallow
Some days are so hectic that I can’t even think of two lines to add to a photo!
Indian Grey Hornbill
Managed to catch a few more images of the Indian Grey Hornbills a few weeks back in the neighborhood. Usually I would only see a pair but on this day I managed to see four of them. I don’t know why but the Hornbills were greatly agitated (or so it sounded to me from their…

Indian Robin
Indian Robin is such a common bird around the neighborhood. And yet I hardly ever managed a decent picture. I know this one is a F5.6 picture and gives no clue about the habitat but then this one was sitting on a boundary wall and the background is of a wall of a house. I…
Purple Sunbird is Now More Purple
Purple Sunbird has been a constant on my bird rounds in the neighborhood. I almost always get it these days on the bottle brush trees. I am curious to see if it will become even more purple this Saturday and Sunday. It has been getting darker every week. And I am going out tomorrow, a…
Yet Another Bird Picture!
Liked the open beak and the hairstyle of the Brahimny Starling that I could capture but honestly I am longing for a trip and not more birds. OK if a trip is not happening then birds will have to do but I really want to get out. The trouble is I have exhausted all my leaves and…
