Birds Birds Birds!
A couple of Sundays back, jrhogan and I decide to go and shoot some birds. A very impromptu arrangement that was made not by sms or phone calls but over a chatroom filled with all sort of conversation. Amazing how we could still arrange to do something in a busy chatroom with a very constant and fast flow of messages by each users. Anyway, an arragement we did have and at noon on the sunday, we set off to the location to try and shoot some birds. These are what I caught… through my lens. I will try to name each bird species accordingly but do let me know if I got any one of them wrong.
Changeable Hawk-Eagle
Eagle (I don’t know the exact name)
Yellow billed Stork
Female Indian Blue Peafowl
Crane (Correct me if I’m wrong)
Let me know what you think of the photos k? Always appreciate comments as I’m always looking forward to knowing what people like and don’t like as well as improving my own skills along the way. You can find the rest of the photos on my Flickr account here

@Fumoffu: TQ … You also the best, always say my pics look nice.
The second “eagle” is actually a Brahminy Kite which is not a real eagle.
The 3rd one is more likely the local Milky Stork than its related African sibling, the Yellow-billed Stork.
Your last bird is not a crane, not even closely related, it is a Cattle Egret in breeding plumage.
