Red Vented Bulbul in the Backyard

Red Vented Bulbul in a Tree Filled with Yellow Berries

I clicked this picture today near my place. I didn’t want to just grade the copies on the first day of 2010. Now I hope, I will click bird pictures throughout the year!
I was reading on the net that if you have a 300mm lens then the trick is to try and creep a little closer to the bird. I did just that for the shot above and I am pretty pleased.
And don’t you dare laugh at me for that extra line on the picture. What? You are not listening to me? Then go ahead and laugh.

  1. A nice picture to start the year,This Bulbul is a small variety than the ones I see here and this has a black mask too.

  2. Hobo, thank you. I too really like this picture.Chitra I agree I wanted to do something that I will remember for the rest of the year!Megha I am told that there are 1000 or so bird species in India! And now that you have said it it does looks a bit pompous! 😀

  3. beautiful frame mridula … ur bird pics are getting better … day by day! keep going :)and yeah … i didnt laugh, but felt bad – coz of some copy cats, such a beautiful pic has to be marred with un-necessary text! i wud suggest that the 'no not reproduce without permission' text may be placed in one corner, as u already have the copyright thingie at places which cannot be cropped 🙂

  4. Sandeep I will try to make it more unobtrusive but there is really no way. Also I sometimes feel like not doing it but then get paranoid again :DAkhila many thanks for your link, it is a beautiful site. And thanks for the kind words for this picture.
