Lazy Sunday Photo- The Water Pot Birds

I managed to click some pictures at the water pots again. Had a few Bulbuls too this time. Some sunbirds do come but it is very difficult to get a decent shot of them. How I am hankering after the 100-400mm lens.

At the Water Pot

The Pigeons are now a regular. I used to click the pictures from inside my room thinking the birds would not come if I went outside in the balcony as there is very little space but that is not the case.

The light made the neck of the Pigeon look quite colorful!

Laughing Dove, bird
Do I Take a Dip?

This one looked undecided for quite sometime. Actually all the birds carefully look around before dipping their beaks.

Finally the Water Pot!

Managed to catch a few Bulbuls too this time. They come in ones and twos and really don’t seem to be bothered about my presence.

Finally some Water!

A Bulbul also decides that it is time to say to hell with the world and drink some water, how harmful that black ponting in my direction could be?

And then there was this beauty (I think it is a bee eating Bird but I could be wrong) in the distance for which my 70-300mm lens is no good. I am really drooling about a 100-400 but I wonder how much more zoom do I get?

  1. Beautiful!!! even at our place, the pigeons and crows dont fly away when we open the window, but the bulbuls are a bit more reticent..as to sunbirds, they vanish the moment we approach!

    and the last one is a small green bee eater… good pic!

  2. you being really lucky as for taking pictures so beautifully of these birds, i also would like to take snaps such a way

  3. Tarun, I rarely have an spending urge, so do not try and talk me out of it.

    Thanks TF for stopping by.

    Thank you FM.

    Anu I agree I find the sun birds the most difficult to capture!

    Thank you Manish, I am trying to become a bird watcher.

    Doli, that is a Dove and where is the post you have promised with the bird pictures.

    TF thanks for pitching in, my beti is finally asleep and I am on the net again.

  4. hey in the “Do I Take a Dip?” picture, is that a pigeon or a dove? I saw the same brownish bird here.. so was wondering what bird it is
