Birds in Our Backyards

Got some old "Shikaar" tales to share? Found a great new spot to Fish? Any interesting camping experiences? Discussion of Back-packing, Bicycling, Boating, National Parks, Wildlife, Outdoor Cooking & Recipes etc.

Hi Slingshot,
The rains are back & The birds are back :D
Awesome pics - for the birds 'it's homecoming' of sorts :D
Your composition with the branches loaded with berries & the lighting are a perfect set up -
Seems the birdies have posed for you & tweeted "Hey Slingshot make it Snappy" - I have a flight to take off :lol:
Keep them coming mate :D

Hi friends,

Presenting the Ashy Prinia or Ashy Wren-Warbler (Prinia socialis), it is a small warbler. This prinia is a resident breeder in the Indian subcontinent, western Myanmar and Sri Lanka. It is a common bird in urban gardens and farmland in many parts of India and its small size, distinctive colours and upright tail make it easy to identify. The northern populations have a rufous rump and back and have a distinct breeding and non-breeding plumage while other populations lack such variation.

If you take any activity, any art, any discipline, any skill - take it and push it as far as it will go, push it beyond where it has ever been before, push it to the wildest edges of edges, then you force it into the realm of magic.

Fantastic photo, specially the first one. How much does the sharpness reduce compressing a huge RAW or a JPEG file staraight off the camera to this "postable" size. Thanks for posting the exif data.
