Caught Special - 81

A female Cuckoo (Koel) bird stopped by the silver oak avenue trees close to our balcony. It was at 9:30 am, on a cool September monsoon time morning in Bangalore. I could take a few pictures of the spotted gray feathered bird, and to add more luck to the morning, just a few minutes later, a dark black feathered male bird also arrived at the location. Take a look at some of the pictures from this episode.

Caught Special - 80

A Parrot stopped by the silver oak avenue trees close to our balcony. It was 1:30 pm, and a rainy September afternoon in Bangalore, thanks to the monsoon showers.

The bird was sitting at a good view for me, but was facing the other way most of the times, and it was calmly looking around, and constantly pecking at its feathers. I could take some 100 odd clicks of it in 5-6 minutes! I used a long zoom lens and some of it came out decent. I have included a combo panaroma collage using cut clippings off some 18 select ones.

The highlight of those few minutes was that a male pair also arrived at the scene. And the two parrots talked something looking at each other and then the male flew away! 

Don't miss to see the pictorial story of the two birds meeting, at the bottom of this posting!
