Greater Flamingo and Grey Heron
Clicked a long time back. When I approached the beach it was the Grey Heron that I first spotted and so I tried to get close hoping to get good shots. But it kept moving away from me. It was then that I spotted the Greater Flamingo. Since it was a new species for me my focus shifted to it. I tried to keep close to the Flamingo and spent a lot of time trailing it hoping to get good shots. It was then I noticed a change in the Grey Heron's behaviour. It suddenly seemed to want to get close to the Flamingo as if to attract my attention. It flew in close and kept coming in the frame as if it was jealous of all the attention I was lavishing on the Flamingo. Watching this scene what impressed me was the dignity which the Flamingo maintained, going about its business without a care and seemingly unaffected by the frivolity of the Heron. In the bargain I got good shots of both.
