At Chafi, neat sattal, Uttarakhand on 24 feb11...while all eyes and lenses were focusing on the first sighting of the Brown Dipper at a distance, this one appeared besides us in the steep, almost vertical river side in xtreme poor light...There was no guide with us at that time and neither did we expect this one nor could identify immedietely...only later we realised the importance of this lifer...quite bold and did not rush after seeing us...

[BirdPhotoIndia] Greater Painted-snipe

A Greater Painted-snipe (Rostratula benghalensis), female foraging in the late evening. The females unlike most bird species is far more attractive than the make male and polyandrous. Not sure though which is the cause and which is the result. The result is that the male ends up rearing the chicks, who look just as drab as him. Despite their name they are not actually snipes.

Cheers,
Rajneesh

(delhibirdpix) Blunt-winged Warbler pics- Kolkata

Hi
This Blunt-winged Warbler was spotted in the Kalikapur wetlands of
Kolkata yesterday. It was one of the warblers of these reedbeds that
was the most easy to photograph. It preened itself perched on the
water hyacinth for a few minutes, thereby giving me and my friend
Debarshi the opportunity to take some good snaps. But at first both of
us mistook the bird for a Plain Prinia,

regards
Shantanu.

(delhibirdpix) Orange-headed Ground Thrush- CKBS

Hi
Last week I searched for this secretive bird in CKBS with my friend
Parikshit for about an hour and tried to track the bird for taking
some snaps. But the bird preferred to stay in the dense undergrowths.
Hence we failed to take any shot of this lovely thrush. Yesterday the
bird obliged by coming out in the open just for a few seconds, as it
turned over the dry leaves in search of insects. These shots were
taken in the shade, and there was inadequate light due to the cloudy
weather. But my new gear- Sony DSC HX1 gave two decent shots even in
low light.

regards
Shantanu.

(delhibirdpix) Rufous-winged Bushlark- Kolkata

Hi
This Bengal Bushlark (Mirafra assamica) was spotted in Kalikapur
wetlands of Kolkata.

regards
Shantanu.

(delhibirdpix) Blue-throated Barbet- CKBS

Hi
This Blue-throated Barbet (Megalaima asiatica) was spotted yesterday
in CKBS. It was enjoying the fleshy pulp of wild Custard apple.

Shantanu : )
