Brahminy KiteW walking around when a bunch of school kids shouted 'KINGFISHER', before i reached the spot an entire group had gathered there and chased the bird off. Bad Luck!!
Spotted a lot of Purple Moorhens, but them being very skittish, i could hardly click a good pic of them. Saw a few Green Bee-eaters(a first time for me at Hebbal Lake). Spotted a few MArsh Harriers, but couldn't photograph them.
Purple Moorhen
Got a message from both the Vinays(Vinay V. & Vinay L.), saying that they also were heading to the lake. Spotted a pair of black birds. Vinay L., with his binoculars was quick to identify them as Bronze-winged Jacanas. Got only a record shot of it.

Loved one of the bee-eater pics, thanks Vinay for pointing this one out.
Green Bee-eater
Clicked a Purple Heron, uploading it just to add one more to the species list. :D Also liked the Squirrel with a baby in its mouth pic.

Hand-held AND manually focused! These are super shots Angad. So I get to see many new species and particularly like the Kite, Bee-eater and of course the squirrel.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Hope mum got a chance to look at the 'green' garden. If she has time to search "flowers / plants" she will find lots more from earlier this year. Cheers Frank.
This is my first visit, wow!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots and I can't believe you're not using a tripod or monopod. Even with a monopod, my shots aren't that clear!
Thanks!
Wow fantastic. I'm so happy I decided to visit your blog!!! The green bee eater shot is splendid but I alos love a lot the squirrel. These shots are amazingly beautiful!
