The number of this species is reducing drastically in the city, due to habitat loss and pollution. They were found in abundance in my area few years back.

(delhibirdpix) black drongo

Hello,

On 20 Jul 2010, i was enjoying cup of tea after rain in balcony of my room in jamnagar. I have seen that a black drongo sitting on electric wire. But because of size of tail i have seen bird again, than i came to know that it was chick, than i took my camera for good eye-level shot as it was just in front me. When i was taking picture at the same time chick opened his mouth and mother feed him, and luckely i got this picture. They were totally two kids, but one which was in front of me was little bit naughty as it was jumping and doing something or something when the other one was quite. After noting down the feeding movements. I came up with the thing that, mother was feeding each kid twice.

When mother comes back with food both kids use to ask mother for food by opening their mouth and flapping their wings. Sometime, after catching the prey mother use to sit some other place to kill the insects in her mouth, but the chick was so hungry that chick use to fly and go to mother. But other one was having no reaction..

(delhibirdpix) The Commoners - # 127 - Great Egret (Casmerodius albus) - 2010-179

Anytime, it is great fun watching over thousands of birds in one go
and fighting for space - even for birds, real estate is important to
carry on their family tree.

Very limited opportunities to frame an image at Sur Sarovar with a
single bird or bird species - some other is always interfering.

It was good to get this one posing in solitary glory at Sur Sarovar,
Agra on 25th July.

Cheers.
