Of weather and feather

The lovely weather continues in Bangalore and Sunday morning saw me back at the familiar woods of Hebbal lake. Here is a photo tour of my search for unfamiliarity...

Bougainvillea... 


Brahminy Kite...




Dew drops on grass...



Common Crow Butterfly...



A slow motion video of the common crow butterfly...





Grey Heron...


Cattle egret...


Water lily...


I was lucky to spot two elusive and shy Spotted Owlets. Here's the first one who was frantically looking here and there...




And here's the second spotted owlet whose gaze was intense, as if he wanted to tell me something really important...
