A resident woodpecker found in woody areas across the country. Its a medium sized woodpecker and known for its loud calls. These birds are mostly seen in pairs with male and female going around together often foraging on the same tree.
I heard this bird a lot more than I had seen it. Many of the birding sites we visit have these birds, but somehow luck eludes me in getting better shots.
Thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.
A rather colorful resident thrush found in the foothills of the Himalayas that winters in South India.
This male, quite a colorful beauty, prefers the dense canopy around waterbodies and wet areas like the edges of lakes or ponds. This one though was shot in a forest on the edge of a hill. We were at a considerable elevation and hence had a fantastic vantage point. We just sat there and waited 2 hours and just about 7-8 species showed up, but we left with some spectacular shots! The birds would fly from a distance to the water drip on the hillside. Enroute, the birds often land on this tall bare tree for a brief while checking out the predators and other activity around prior to flying to the water source.

Also known as the Golden Browed Bulbul, this is an endemic bird of South India and Sri Lanka. The bird is bright yellow and easy to identify in the bush and canopy where they are sighted. Apparently, this subspecies of the bird we shot in the Malabar region / Western Coast is a bit paler than the subspecies on the other coast - though I haven't seen it yet.
The birds are of the same size as other bulbuls - maybe 20 cms - and are found in small groups. We sighted several around fruiting trees such as wild berries, Figs and they were quite loud during the time. The calls were a tad easy to remember and just like other bulbuls they were noisy. This is the start of their breeding season and hence I think they were out more than usual.
Many thanks in advance for your views, feedback and faves.
One of the 15-20 pigeon / doves found in India, this one is a more colorful variant. They are often found in lush forests and in thick canopy, always on the top branches. They are the size of a Rock Pigeon and always seen in groups.
The birds could be seen in many of the forest areas around the state, but they are a bit hard to get a decent shot. Over the weekend, we visited a forest over looking a hill and we sighted two of these birds on a tall tree on the slopes enjoying the berries. The area had a large population of monkeys - so the birds were quite alert, cautious, and flew away after a while.
Thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.
Sighted a flock of 50-60 birds next to a large lake. They landed on a submerged farmland and were active for much of the time. These are resident birds of the subcontinent, but mostly seen in Summers when the water bodies get quite shallow. The birds bottom feed grabbing algae and then letting go of the water from their mouths.

A beautiful sandgrouse species resident in the country around grasslands - they are rare in our city but common in some areas of the state!
The males are spectacular with a very beautiful ring around their necks. The pattern too is quite interesting and is well suited for camouflage in their habitat. They prefer the small rocky / areas in the grasslands and it is so easy to miss them. And we did miss them, luckily another bunch of birders who sighted them shared the location - which was the place where we were a few minutes ago.
The bird didn't move despite our vehicle getting around 8 feet close to them. The nature guide informed us that these species don't fly away unlike their more common cousins - the chestnut bellied sandgrouse - which fly away almost 50-100 feet away from people.
Thanks in advance for your wonderful feedback and likes.

A beautiful and colorful Swallow resident in the country, but migratory in our city and the birding spots around us.
The bird is easy to spot due to the metallic blue plumage while the other swallows we have here sport a dark brown blackish plumage. These are social birds like other swallows and always seen in a small flock.
There were several juveniles in this flock of around 8 birds. They can be discerned by their brownish crowns - unlike the reddish crown that adults sport - and paler wings. The adults were keeping an eye on them watching for potential predators and other birds that were flying around them.
Thank you so much in advance for your views, feedback and faves.

A very common Kingfisher found easily across our state in pretty much all kinds of habitats. The bird is a predator and adults do get pretty big - the size of smaller dove maybe - much bigger than most of the other kingfishers we normally see.
They are opportunistic predators and can be seen with a variety of prey in their beaks. This includes reptiles like Lizards and Skinks, smaller birds like White-Eyes, Flowerpeckers and even chicks of other birds, fish, beetles and Grasshoppers. They are aggressive and quite territorial. On a rare occasion, I sighted a territorial fight between this bird and the largest Kingfisher in South India, the Stork Billed Kingfisher. It was not a contest since this Kingfisher flew away from the area almost immediately.
Thanks in advance for your views and feedback.

Not sure what I was thinking when I framed this shot, not to happy with the framing.
I think if I had moved back approx 3 to 4 feet would have had a better foreground.
Have a wonderful day and thanks for comments and feedback.

Another shot from yesterday morning's visit to the Studland Coast. This is looking towards The Pinnacles, two chalk formations located near Handfast Point.
The pastel colours at sunrise were gorgeous and setting a long exposure of 90 Seconds I've given this shot a nice smooth look to the water.

The Red Avadavats - previously known as Strawberry finches - are at the end of their breeding season which is usually from Jul/Aug - Dec of every year. The birds are in deep rich red color - impossible to miss amidst the browns and greens of the grasslands and lake banks - will slowly lose that color and turn brown over the next month.
I sighted a large flock of around 30-40 of them which were foraging in the dry grasslands on the edge of a large lake. The females too were looking very beautiful in their prime breeding plumage - with golden hues and reddish beak. The birds were busy foraging and I think I sighted a few immature ones / Juveniles - they were brown and didn't have yellow hues in the front side (which females have).
Thank you so much in advance for your views, feedback and faves.
There are many images of the Notre Dame in Paris and most are of the front façade with its iconic towers.
However, after a short stop for a coffee, we exited the café and headed over to the bridge behind the cathedral and from the South Eastern side I managed to capture what I thought was an unusual and different perspective.
I loved the outcome and I was even more surprised to find an almost exact copy on a picture postcard as we were leaving France. I guess that makes this one good enough to make my first Paris visit profile.

An often sighted wagtail in tree covers and dirt roads, fields and countryside. The bird is easy to identify and it constantly wags it tail up and down. The bird prefers small insects on the ground and once it finds something it darts off to a tree to munch on it.
We were so busy trying to the flycatchers which were making us run all around when we noticed this one sitting quietly on a rock in a distance.!
Thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.

The Common Babbler (next pic in the photostream), had a lucky escape. This Shikra made a sudden attack, but the Babbler saw the raptor and darted off. The Shikra clearly unhappy looked for another prey, but couldn't find one, so flew away.
These are resident raptors and by population the 2nd most common I think in our state / India after Black Kite. Shikra's are ferocious hunters and they attack birds foraging openly, in the bushes, at at times right in their nests during breeding time.
This bird was too close and I had to shoot from the gap between the driver's shoulder and the door from the back seat where I was seated - happy with the outcome though.
Thank you so much in advance for your views, feedback and faves.
A very beautiful resident bird prized by the photographers due to its beautiful plumage. The one here is a male, but the female is even far more colorful and beautiful. I sighted 2 males and a 3rd one which I could not determine the sex. We were exploring a new area and these birds just flew right from under our feet scaring us for a few moments. They circled around and landed at some distance away.
Outside of its breeding season it is quite hard to spot. Also, the bird times its presence to align with the sowing reason and the post harvest season when the fields are wet and muddy both the times. The bird has a preference to the wet areas where we find them pretty much.
I suspect the male was watching the chicks and hence was trying to distract us by flying away so quickly and openly. It was also flying at eye level height instead of the usual close to ground mode. The males in the species watch the chicks while the polyandrous females leave after the eggs are laid.
Thanks in advance for all your lovely feedback and views. Much appreciated.
Would love to have some feedback form you guys.

A beautiful little flycatcher that comes all the way from North Eastern Asia, China and Japan in Winters. Here the bird is perched above a small pond formed by rain water patiently waiting for the insects to get active again. The area had many insects and hence lot of flycatcher activity.
Thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.
(White Capped variant!)
This small bird is a winter migrant to India from parts of the Central Asia and middle East. It prefers dry areas and desert regions for its habitat and we found it all over the desert - infact it was the most common bird in that area - more than the myna's or bulbuls and sighted in the dry bushes and often coming to the ground.
Wikipedia refers to three distinct morphs of the bird and we sighted all 3 of them, though 2 seemed fairly common - the 3rd one - the white cap - was a bit uncommon but did sight a few times. The one we get down in the Southern India has white on the belly all the way till the neck. We never found it in our home state despite searching several seasons, but am so am glad that we sighted all the 3 variants.
Thank you very much in advance for your views, faves and feedback.
The last image was taken when I was standing on the top of this hill (top right area), during a rare moment when the fog dissipated.
Those mud stairs were wet, sticky, and slippery. Our boots and hiking sticks were caked with mud afterward, took us forever to get them off!
Dear readers, we were well aware that hiking in the thick fog, compounded by wind, could be dangerous on a mountain or strolling along an exposed ridge and couldn't see the edge. Rest assured that no risks were taken here, we turned around as soon as we felt unsafe.
For those who missed reading about my experience in this area, please refer to this post HERE!
Thanks for having a look, I always appreciate your visit and feedback!
A White-throated Kingfisher (Halcyon smyrnensis) sitting still at the edge of the river in the morning sun. It kept absolutely still and allowed me to get close, bit unusual behavior for this particular species. Probably because it was not foraging in the early morning, just perching and thinking.

To clarify some things:
- I made this to show myself and others that I'm still capable of making nice weapons in PMG.
- I'd like to apologize again for what I did and didn't.
- I know Jake likes this weapon.
- I probably won't be a full active member again, but I'll see what I can do. I really miss the community.
- Thanks for the positive feedback on the WIP.

Rare and endangered birds found only in a few places across the country. Sightings are prized by bird lovers and photographers. They behave like terns both in flight and roosting behaviour, but are larger around 40-45 cms. These birds are mainly found in rivers and estuaries and are impossible to miss due to their bright orange, white and black colors.
The distinctive feature is the bill, with a long lower mandible and a short upper mandible. The birds skim on the water with their beaks open and grab fish, shrimp and other crustaceans and larvae. They are a delight to watch and we were lucky to sight around 300+ of them and spent an hour on the mossy wet ground shooting them. This was one of the largest concentrations of the bird.
Habitat degradation such as fishing, transportation, irrigation schemes etc.. are the main reason for their endangered status. The colonies lie in the sandbars of the rivers on the estuaries making them very hard to protect as well. Feral dogs, crows and other predators are known to decimate breeding colonies.
Many thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.
Resident birds of the subcontinent and found throughout the year, but not so common here. This was shot last winter near a dry lake on the outskirts of the city. That lake hosted 1000's of birds including a few species of ducks, godwits, swallows, stints, sandpipers and a variety of other waders. The place had amazing activity and was an excellent place for bird photography.
During one of those days, around 7-8 Spoonbills landed there and were foraging in the shallow lake scooping up the various aquatic creatures like worms, crustaceans, insects etc.. These spoonbills - I suspect - are locally migratory since their sightings are not that regular or predictable. And it is one of those large birds that many of us enjoying sighting and watching.

Happy World Sparrow Day! Let's celebrate these delightful creatures and raise awareness about their conservation. Together, let's work towards creating a more sparrow-friendly environment. 🐦💚 #WorldSparrowDay #Conservation!
A resident sparrow that apparently migrates from Kashmir to Gujarat during winters. This is a subspecies of the common House Sparrow and looks quite different to those that I see in my balcony everyday! I love sparrows and was so happy to see these.
I am not sure of the story about sparrows migrating, but there is very little information on these subspecies on the internet.
Thank you so much in advance for your views, feedback and faves.
A shot taken during sunset - guess its the last meal of the day before they get back to their nests. Maybe it is breeding, I need to check that out.
This male was feeding on the long pods and we sat in the car and watched it from start to finish, around 15 mins maybe. It first selected a ripe pod, then slowly walked down to the end, tore it open, tasted a few, liked it and continued to eat few more. There was a bit of wastage with the seeds falling on the ground, but that helps in generating more plants I suppose.
The bird is named after "Alexander The Great" who transported a large number of these back to Europe as gifts to various nobles.
Thanks in advance for your view / feedback / comments. Much appreciated.
A common bird around our neighbourhood and the countryside - sometimes a pest. However, they are great for flight shot practice. The birds are fast fliers, but predictable though making them great for practice. These are often the target of Falcons this season (Winter), so we often watch these birds movements to check for Falcons around.
Shot this bird on a dam next to a reservoir when it was flying above the water outlet. The pigeon foraged on the ground was heading to its flock . There were several Starlings and Mynas which were busy carrying food to their nests. And on the other side above the water, several Brahminy Kites and another raptor were hunting for smaller birds and/or fish.
Thanks in advance for your views, faves and feedback. Much appreciated.
A really small diminutive bird just around 12-14 cms long. It is quite a silent bird and easy to miss and track. The birds are long migrants from South East Asia and Southern china to South India during winters. They are flycatchers and often seen in the underbush and near wet areas hunting flies around woody areas. But I suspect there is a population of them resident in the country in some the richer forests far away from the cities.
During the last two trips we sighted several of them and some of them were quite unmindful of humans. This one was shot in a lovely forest where bird come down to the pools to drink water. This flycatcher was waiting near one pool for the flies to be disturbed before it can make a catch.
