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.
A Nightjar at Gir, Gujarat
A Nightjar is a nocturnal bird. It was so difficult to spot and then photograph. You can see how well camouflaged the bird is. I used Picnik to edit it and whatever little I used it for, I am liking it, gives me more flexibility than Picasa and yet lets me upload the pictures from Picasa itself. Clicked…
Yet More Purple Sunbirds
I managed to click Purple Sunbirds on Saturday and then on the same Bottle Brush Flowers I found it again. I guess I just got lucky. Let us see if I find it again on this weekend as well, these and the Indian Grey Hornbill as well. And to think of it that I had…
Another Green Bee Eating Bird
Another one of the backyard birds, a Green Bee Eating Bird this time. Liked the way I could get the red of the eyes. Never managed to see it before.
As the Sun Sets
The bird was sitting against the sun and let me take two pictures before it flew away. I think it is a purple sunbird but somehow looks bigger sitting against the sun. It then went on to sit on the bottle brush flowers again. And kept on showing its beautiful neck. But those pictures are…
Indian Grey Hornbill
A friend on Facebook asked today but where do you get to click birds in Delhi/Gurgaon. I think if we look around we can find pictures in Delhi/Gurgaon quite easily. I do not live in high rise areas and my neighborhood has trees as well. So this Indian Grey Horbill has been clicked on my…
Lazy Sunday Photo- Purple Sunbird on Bottle Brush Flowers
Yesterday was a good day. As soon as I started on my bird round I saw a lot of parrots making a huge racket. But they were really far away and I had no way to get closer to them. Then after a while, when I reached my bird lane, I saw this purple sunbird…
A Red Rose
If I have to look for file pictures of skies I look into the Spiti folder, for flowers I go to the Naldehra folder. But look at the flower again. It is full of rain drops and all I managed to click was this far away shot with hardly any emphasis on the strongest point…
Sky Watch Friday- There are No Skies Like Spiti Skies
These days the sky in the city has been just one color mostly, Grey. And for the whole week I had been fretting what am I going to post for skywatch! But then I know I still have a few pictures in store from my Spiti trip in 2007. I wish I would go there…
