Watching Birds All Day

RE-TWEET IT!

I recently shot some interesting photos of birds in our own garden. One was an Indian Shikari or Sparrow Hawk (which was viewed over 800 times on Twitpic, by the way), and another was a Common Tailorbird.

Those were ‘fortunate accidents’ – but the ones taken today were deliberate and intentional. We spent the day watching birds at the famous Vedanthangal Bird Sanctuary, where over 40,000 feathered friends gather every monsoon season to breed!

Here are some photos from what turned out to be a very interesting and enjoyable day…
