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…
Long Billed Pipit or Brown Rock Pipit
This bird has two names, Brown Rock Pipit and Long Billed Pipit. At a quick glance looks like a more scary sparrow. It has been after a long time that I have managed to spot something new in the neighborhood. OK, not that long time actually, I think it has just been a month since…

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…
