Bar Headed Goose

Finally found this small pack of 11-12 Bar Headed Goose. I was looking for them since start of this season but to no avail. Every time I reached the possible locations just to find out that they have left a few days back. But this time I was lucky enough to spot them and enjoyed their company at a very close distance. Information regarding this water-body reached me only on last Monday evening and I was due on that route Tuesday morning. So not taking any chances I visited this place first and no doubt it was Fabulous.

Birds in Flight

 

Yesterday coming back from outstation site visit, just thought to divert route in hope of finding some more birds I took a road less traveled along the canal and was happy to find this flock in their evening flight. It was an unforgettable experience to watch them.

Pied Avocets

Blackwinged Stilt

I started visiting the last year birding spots a little late, thanks to the bright light available throughout the day which enables me to keep things a little flexible. Also learned to handle my camera in a better manner and to live with a starter's zoom lens. The next I wish to have is priced at 1,17,000 :P. Hence just happy clicking with the gear I have till then.

This shot is what I always dream t of capturing. But I think it will take some more expertise into this.
