Black Buck
This Black buck was doing his duty to save his family by distracting the Invaders (us). And he seems quite capable of doing that, he usually track you to the show of its beauty and agility and sadly get closer to the hunters quite easily. On the course of spotting these I've learned that some people are still hunting this beautiful creature, but a sign of relief was that most people are in favor of saving them, and let them wander through their fields without disturbing them.
Quite happy after spending some 5 odd hours spotting and being in company of Black bucks, and no, it was not in any Wildlife Reserve, They are all free.

Another shot of Purple Sunbird in flight
I was trying hard to capture maximum possible movements of this agile bird, and it was quite a tough job but happy to be able to capture some nice shot. What I missed in this shot was the bird probing the flowers a few milliseconds ago, but till then this is the best.
Purple Sunbird having a drink
This is one of those moments I always dreamed of clicking. Found this couple of Purple Sunbird (Male was a bit more shy) drinking nectar from the red flowers at our front lawn but it took me flat three days to get them comfortable with my presence. And finally here is the result for your viewing pleasure.

Indian Wren-Warbler
I was fortunate enough to finally capture this very small yet smart and fast moving bird. I tried so many times earlier but failed due to its fast movements. Now looking for ID. Shall update at the soonest.

Asian Openbill Stork
EXIF: Canon EOS 500D, f/8, 1/500 sec, ISO 400, 300mm, Spot metering
The Asian Openbill or Asian Openbill Stork, Anastomus oscitans, is a large wading bird in the stork family Ciconiidae. It is a resident breeder in tropical southern Asia from India and Sri Lanka east to Southeast Asia.
Asian Openbill Stork is a broad-winged soaring bird, which relies on moving between thermals of hot air for sustained flight. Like all storks, it flies with its neck outstretched. It is relatively small for a stork at 68 cm length. They breed near inland wetlands and build stick nest in trees, typically laying 2-6 eggs.
Breeding adults are all white except for the black wing flight feathers, red legs and dull yellow-grey bill. The mandibles do not meet except at the tip, and this gives rise to the species' name. Non-breeding adults have the white of the plumage replaced by off-white. Young birds have brown tinge to the plumage.
The Asian Openbill Stork, like most of its relatives, walks slowly and steadily on the ground, feeding on molluscs, frogs and large insects.
