Definitely heading for that private hall of fame.

That is your neighborhood. Dudhwa. Sold a few prints of that :-)

Look before you leap!

Shot yesterday.

Terrific, heart-warming image, Durango Dude! Reminds of the amateurish effort of mine trying to capture that pair of mating local Shikras from the terrace.

Dudhwa! That says it all - I knew any place as magical as that capture had to be somewhere close!
And that action shot of the White Eye!
This is one bloody marvellous thread - with so many talented, visionary artists! I can tell you - one visit to this arena and it takes years off one's back.

Excellent images, Nilanjan, M35 and i20ian! Have you guys tried out Plotagraph. Give it a try to add a new dimension to your images.

It's for animating still images into video's and GIF's. There's a desktop and mobile version of the software, I'm using the mobile and animating my images. Kindly have a look:

Edit: I realised birding is not for me. I just don't get the thrill.
