Sunday morning birding trip to Hoskote lake was most enjoyable. Wife joined me and we got back home with photos and lots of fresh broccoli and zucchini from the farms. Here's a photo tour...
A Painted Stork was on a fishing expedition. We watched its many tries with fingers crossed...
It was a tale of patience and perseverance...
And the fish was caught...
The final gulp and joy on its face...
It flew away after the meal...
Spotted dove...
Indian Robin...
Zitting Cisticola...
Green bee-eater...
Pied bushchat...
Plain tiger butterfly...
There are many vegetable farms around Hoskote lake. We spent some time with the farm workers who offered us their fresh produce of broccoli and zucchini...
Joy of being around freshness...
There is the moringa oleifera tree...
A bunch of moringa leaves...
Everybody seemed to hit the jackpot...
Paddyfield pipit...
Pied Kingfisher hovering for a kill...

Hello, beautiful photos and birds. The stork series is awesome! The fresh broccoli look wonderful. Enjoy your day, wishing you a happy new week ahead!
ReplyDeleteThe painted stork is quite beautiful. Your waiting of you, as well of the stork is worth it, eh? Love the capture with the fish in its beak! Love the subtle coloring of the feathers of the bee eater:) Great pose of the king fisher. Love the moment you captured both ladies painting! Fun to pick your own broccoli and zucchini. Your wife is so graceful, she must be an easy subject for you to capture her with the camera:)
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for sharing this photo trip with All Seasons!
Great pics of the stork hunting. From what I have seen, they have to work hard for their food.
