221. Gull-billed Tern (Gelochelidon nilotica) This one seems to be a non-breeding male. 222. Yellow-wattled Lapwing (Vanellus malabaricus) While I had captured its cousin the Red-wattled Lapwing multiple times, this one had evaded me so far. 223. Common Spoonbill (Platalea leucorodia) Unfortunately in this pic, the feature that gives this bird its name is not visible. 224. Green Imperial

My two-day trip to Florida was surprisingly productive. In the middle of the 10-hr drive we stopped at St.Augustine beach for lunch. These birds were scavenging from the fishermen on a pier. 199. Great-tailed Grackle (Quiscalus mexicanus) The female ...and the male 200. I still haven't figured out this one Further closer to our destination, a flock of black vultures were circling the

One of the joys of living in Thanjavur is that I can count at least 3 dozen bird species from my office terrace. Here are a few shot at office and around my town. 189. Yellow-billed Babbler (Turdoides affinis) These noisy little birds sometimes make it impossible to hear each other at work. 190. Pied Kingfisher (Ceryle rudis) Caught this guy hovering over some last remaining puddles in the

188. Loten's Sunbird (Cinnyris lotenius) Was lucky to capture this mercurial little bird in flight in our office garden.

My haul from the annual pilgrimage to Masinagudi 184. Changeable Hawk-eagle (Nisaetus cirrhatus) I caught this fantastic specimen on the main road in Bandipur in fading light. It's a pity that I couldn't get a better pic. 185. Common Iora (Aegithina tiphia) 186. Common Flameback (Dinopium javanense) 187. Malabar Grey Hornbill (Ocyceros griseus)

These are from my road trip mostly around Chikmagalur. 178. Flame-throated bulbul (Pycnonotus gularis) 179. Eurasian Sparrowhawk (Accipiter nisus): The orange iris does make me suspect that this might be a wrong ID. However, I could rule out Besra and Shikra based on the sharp horizontal stripes across the chest. 180. Indian Roller (Coracias benghalensis): Luckily, I was able to capture the

The bird watching was not limited to the sanctuaries. There were some bird encounters even at the hotels I stayed in, in Moshi town. 175. Pied Crow (Corvus albus) 176. Spotted Morning-thrush (Cichladusa guttata) 177. Hadada Ibis (Bostrychia hagedash) This noisy pair woke me up really early in the morning on my first morning in Tanzania, in Uhuru hostel.

Birds that I photographed during my visit to Ngorongoro crater. 172. Long-crested Eagle (Lophaetus occipitalis) Saw this one giving us a fishy look while we were driving on the rim of the crater. 173. Saddle-billed Stork (Ephippiorhynchus senegalensis) 174. Greater Flamingo (Phoenicopterus roseus) This was one of my favorite sights in the entire trip, a soda lake filled with Greater

What a haul from Serengeti! First the marquee birds of Africa. 137. Ostrich (Struthio camelus) This male was trying to woo his mate. He eventually went on to score. 138. Secretary Bird (Sagittarius serpentarius) The theory is that this bird gets its name from the unique quills that make it look like a secretary of old with quill pens tucked behind his/her ears. Nas has a more sexist

Oldupai Gorge in Tanzania is famous for the discoveries that furthered our understanding of early hominids. It lies on the Great Rift Valley that runs through East Africa. Here are the birds that I found near the Oldupai Gorge Museum. 134. Great Sparrowhawk (Accipiter melanoleucus) This had perched on one of the boards near the entrance to Oldupai Gorge. 135.

Birds photographed from my trip to Lake Manyara in Tanzania. 126. Silvery-cheeked Hornbill (Bycanistes brevis) Got a fantastic view of this large bird. He was at the entrance of his nest, and feeding his female and/or chicks. 127. Yellow-billed Stork (Mycteria ibis) Photographed this just outside the park where Storks, Pelicans and Ibises roost and breed on the huge trees. 128. African

These are my bird pictures from my trip to Kilimanjaro. Since I was careful not to leave my group while walking I had limited opportunities to photograph birds. Most of the ones you see here are those that visited our campsites. 120. Alpine Chat or Moorland Chat or Hill Chat (Cercomela sordida) Bold bird that scavenged in the camps and seemed very accustomed to human presence. 121. Streaky

Made yet another visit to Gulakmale to get used to my new lens before the big trip. While I photographed a lot of birds, this is the only one that debuts on my list. 119. Yellow-eyed Babbler (Chrysomma sinense )

114. Malabar Parakeet (Psittacula columboides) My favorite snap from this trip was this lone Malabar Parakeet (also called the Blue-winged Parakeet) that sat for a few seconds before taking off into the woods. Making their debut on my roster are three species which are closely related to each other. I photographed these three within a 100ft from my uncle's house. I should spend a lot more time

Gulakmale is fast turning out to be one of my favorite birding destinations. This time I was armed with my new 120-400mm Sigma lens. I returned low yields mainly because of my discomfort with the new equipment.Here are some notable captures76. Purple Sunbird (Cinnyris asiaticus).This one's the female. I had captured a male during my visit to Kabini.113. Plain Prinia (Prinia inornata)35. Female

112. Collared Scops Owl (Otus lettia)This endearing pair lives in the empty plot next to zenrainman's house. It's every birder's dream to get this kind of access to a bird's life. I live for days like this.

I got these two just outside my Aunt's house in Shimoga. 110. Blue-faced Malkoha (Phaenicophaeus viridirostris): closely related to the cuckoo..has the most fascinating eyes.111.Yellow Wagtail (Motacilla flava): Seemed a little too small and too greenish to be a wagtail; probably a juvenile.

Pale-billed Flowerpecker or Tickell's Flowerpecker (Dicaeum erythrorhynchos) Considering that this is one of the smallest birds in the sub-continent -it's all of 8 cms - I'm very proud of this picture.

102. Indian Nightjar (Caprimulgus asiaticus)I had never imagined, when I started this project, that I'll condescend to posting a picture taken on a mobile phone. However, this really fascinating encounter with the Indian Nightjar was quite something. She was sitting very close to a trail and her camouflage almost made us step on her. I stopped to look at her, and she seemed blissfully asleep.

A visit to Kokkarebellur, even in 38 degree summer heat, is incredibly uplifting. I've been visiting this place frequently, and the health of the breeding population of Storks and Pelicans only seems to get better. This time, I took two new recruits who, I'm guessing, are hooked for life too. 98. Streaked Weaver (Ploceus manyar)99. Jungle Myna (Acridotheres fuscus)100. Jungle Crow (Corvus

My search for farmland around Bangalore is also giving me a lot of opportunities for birding. These were clicked around the DanagaanahaLLi reservoir in Chikkaballapur district.96. Common Hoopoe (Upapa epops)97. Large Woodshrike (Tephrodornis gularis)I'm not still convinced about the ID of this one.

This was my second visit to Gulakmale, which is a rather renowned birding spot. This time of the year, though, you have to deal with the dry heat. So the birding excursion was shot. I was lucky to spot a couple of species that hadn't featured in this blog yet. 94. Richard's Pipit (Anthus richardi) 95. Black-winged Cuckooshrike or Smaller Grey Cuckoo-Shrike (Coracina melaschistos) Thanks

Kokkarebellur is a magical place. Every September this village is visited by a sizable population of Pelicans and Painted Storks who roost on the trees within this village. It's heartwarmingly bizarre that they prefer to nest inside the village and not anywhere outside. Humans and birds have established a relationship that I haven't seen anywhere else. Here are the poster boys of this unique

71. Asian Paradise-flycatcher (Terpsiphone paradisi) - Male This photograph took me all of thirty minutes of chasing through thorny thicket. The bruised legs and the thorn covered clothes were all worth it. 73. Grey Wagtail (Motacilla cinerea) Updated by picture taken in KokkarebeLLur Original picture here. 74.

63. Striped Tit Babbler (Macronous gularis)64. Small Minivet (Pericrocotus cinnamomeus)65. Greater Coucal (Centropus sinensis) This most definitely deserves a better pic. 66. Yet to be IDed. Seems like some kind of Nuthatch.

61. Female Black-headed Munia (Lonchura atricapilla)Had the most beautiful experience with this Munia. She was about 20 ft away from me when I started photographing her. After every shot I moved a foot closer. She would stop each time I took a step, gauge the threat for a couple of seconds and resume feeding on the grass. In about half an hour she was completely habituated to me and she let me

Shivanahalli is a small village adjacent to the boundary of Bannerughatta National Park. These two pictures were taken on a trail organized by bngbirds, which is a very active birding group in Bangalore. The haul from this trip would have been great if I hadn't reached there with an unloaded weapon. I forgot to charge the batteries of my camera last night!59. Tickell's Blue Flycatcher (Cyornis

These photographs were taken during a mere four hours spent at the park. I can't wait to spend a couple of days there. As always let me begin with my favorites. 37. Spotted Owlet (Athene brama)I hate anthropomorphism, not least because it has given us a string of bad hollywood movies, but yet I couldn't resist attrbuting human expressions to this particularly beautiful creature. It seemed to say

The Gandhi Krishi Vignana Kendra campus of the University of Agricultural Sciences is a real heaven for bird-watching. I got all of the following in less than an hour. It was overcast when I reached there and the sun was setting. As a result, these snaps aren't so great. But I promised myself to go there again, preferably in the morning, very soon.32. Shikra (Accipter badius) This one just

Anejhari is a forest lodge near Kollur in Shimoga district and fast becoming one of my favorite places in the world. More about the trip on my other blog. Here are the birds I spotted and photographed. First the ones I'm proud of. 21. Malabar/Southern Trogon (Harpactes fasciatus) This beauty teased and tormented. It kept changing its perch before I could train my lens on it. The dark foliage

MakaLidurga, which is a 1350m high hill near Doddaballapur, is a great place for bird watching. Here's my harvest. 17. Baya Weaver (Plocius phillipinus): We found a little lake that was surrounded by Baya Weaver nests. This male was in the process of building his nest. Picture of female clicked at KokkarebeLLur on 6-Feb-2010 Another picture of a male shot in Gulakmale 18. Laughing Dove (

Gulakmale, off Kagglipura, is a little village near the Art of Living ashram. There is a small lake near the village called Hosakere which is a treasure house for birding. We spotted atleast 21 species but managed only three barely-decent pictures. 13. White-browed Bulbul 14. Ashy Prinia (I could be terribly wrong about this one, because I think this bird was too small to be a prinia. Most of

(Update: Replaced with a photo taken on 20-Feb-2010 near Devanahalli)12. Black Shouldered Kite (Elanus caeruleus)I spotted this near Devanahalli while returning from Skandagiri. This photo breaks another rule of mine that I won't shoot photos of birds if they are sitting on wires. There's something very unromantic about that. But I'm making an exception for this because...well, a raptor's a

Since I'm only at number seven, I have a lot of low hanging fruits that I can target. Here are birds I photographed on my trip to Galibore.8. I caught this Indian Robin female at the entrance of its nest. There were two nestlings inside the nest too!...and here's the male (photo taken in Amruthapura)9. Red-Whiskered Bulbul (Pycnonotus jocusus): This was a ridiculously easy catch. He landed right

I wonder if I consume myself with trivial pursuits. The resolution behind this blog, for example, is that I will photograph at least 500 unique species of birds. I'm not as good a birder as I want to or used to be. But I still love the sport; especially the meditative trance you get into while following a bird in the thicket. It gets even more therapeutic with a camera in hand. I know this will
