Valley School: Kanakapura Road

This was our first birding trip as amateurs. Thanks to Chandu and Deepa who really made us to have wonderful introduction into the colorful world of bird species. Having spotted many, could only capture few of them in Camera though. The lesson learnt for the day was "patience".

The photo that's my favourite is of the sun bird and its nest. When we walked across its nest on our journey forward, I attempted to capture this, but none of the photos were good though. But when we were walking back, I just moved a bit closer and waited for a while to observe the bird. It was making very frequent trips to nest and finally my patience was paid with some wonderful snaps. Have a look.

Ashy Prinia - Tailess: Haven't seen many tailless ones though, may be our birders can through more light

Birding at Binsar

Well, those were the days, we weren't doing birding so much, it's just that the avions used to attract very much, I am posting few of those early day photos of birds.

The best part of this was, there was no effort or very little effort was required to spot these lovely ones. Infact there were plenty of them visiting the place where we were staying. You just have sit and keep watching them :-)

Infact Binsar also has a bird sanctury nearby. Unfortunately the season wasn't good when we went there. Next time I am hoping to make it up.
