Kingfisher

First interesting bird sighting after reaching the lake.

Winged Posers

These gather together and bask in the sunlight. They are the most photographer friendly subjects most of the time.

Wings in the air!!

Today I wanted to photograph birds flying or doing something interesting. Rather than just sitting in the tree or somewhere. So its a little challenge for myself.

Wings span!!

Couldn't get both the birds in focus. The wing span for these birds are mighty.

Pink tail :-)

Grooming

I waited a long time for this bird to take flight and capture that in a pic. And it took its time to groom itself for long.

Take off - missed focus

After all the wait the bird launched itself with no indication and I missed focus.

Landing

Little birds

I generally miss taking pics of these little birds in the trees, since they are easy to miss when you are focusing the camera on the big birds. But there was a group of them came to a tree next to me and posed.

Brahmini Kite

One more take off

And more take off

Somehow, I did not have the luck to photograph any bird taking flight towards my direction. They are always flying away. Need to try harder next time.

And the portrait before the take off

Time to fly

See you real soon.

Kingfisher

My first attempt in capturing a kingfisher in flight!

The moment before the take off.

Takes off like an arrow

If you look closely, you can see the water drops on the bird.
