It all started with a bowl of water yesterday. It was Sunday and I was sitting in my room.
On your joint railing our neighbor keeps a pot of water that I also fill when I see the water level going down. It is just too hot in Gurgaon at the moment. I wish I could click the pot along with the tree reflections but with my SLR I somehow manage to focus only on one aspect and from the point and shoot, the picture didn’t come out too well.
Of course, there was purple sunbird too which made a brief appearance but then my luck has not changed, I could not clicked it. There was no problem however with this Laughing Dove.
And then there was this pigeon splashing a little water. Now I bought a clay pot myself today. I have to find a good spot for the birds to place it as well as a discreet one, so that I can take pictures to my hearts content.
lovely – The first photograph.
Thanks Hobo.
Pictures are so good …. so, apart from being a great travel photographer now you are also an avid bird watcher – i like the pigeon splashing in water (btw there isn’t a little ‘c’ that you normally have in the middle of the picture)
Viral, it is quite small, if you click on the images you would find the copyright there.
nice thing to do this summer…but the water just evaporates and u have to take care of scavengers who drop non-veg piece on the water
nice ones, Mridula… we tried keeping water for the birds this year, but since we live on the second floor, it turns out to be a bit of a problem, since the birds keep pushing the pot down,.. and we are scared that some day it will fall on someone!!! but u have got some wonderful pics with this…. esp the spotted dove… i really had no idea u could see all these in delhi!
Nice pics there… sometimes you don’t have to go too far from home for great pic opportunities 🙂
Good initiative..
Mridula,
Nice to be back on your posts. As someone said earlier, its a nice initiative. I must tell you Mridula, the mutkas you get at Betul, are some of the best I have seen – in design as well as their cooling capacity too. Gives a nice competition for the refrigerator!

I was wondering what was the first picture .I liked the purple sunbird.
