Is it the thanksgiving feast?

What a feast for the bird, as well as for our eyes. As the bird gulps down its meal, we can even see the water droplets sprinkling out and a bit of meat sticking on the beak of the bird.

Can you give us a lift?

Africa

Can you give us a lift?

The birds perched up on the hippos are requesting them to drop them on their way, while the hippos arenâ€™t looking much interested in their hitch-hiking appeal.

Yellow is in, for this fashion season

While mankind plays Holi to become colourful, the chameleon can change its colour on will. How nice it is to have a separate dress for every day; ladies would love it.

Look before you leap

Africa

Look before you leap

The chameleon is a lizard with a prehensile tail, long extensible tongue, protruding eyes that rotate independently, and a highly developed ability to change colour. Let the signal turn green!

Having a hippo of a time

Africa

Having a hippo of a time

Having a whale of a time with the family, is what these hippos are up to. Even the guest birds are welcome in the family as the children are playing under the watchful eyes of their elders.

Beak-a-boo

Africa

Beak-a-boo

Playing peek-a-boo is difficult though as the shrub is not so dense. And the tail and beak of the African hornbill are proportionately longer than the body, making it more difficult to hide.

Song and dance routine

Africa

Song and dance routine

Oblivious to its surroundings, the couple is enjoying to the hilt. While one is singing, the other seems to be dancing to the tune. Love is in the air, as they are lost in their romantic interplay.

Love at same sight

Africa

Love at same sight

As they say - love doesn't mean looking into each other's eyes but looking out together in the same direction. With that parameter, this couple seems to be in love.

Bait and watch

Africa

Bait and watch

This spoon bill stork doesnâ€™t need to clap, as its beak is such, it can make noise with just a flap. Though right now, it is not going to make any noise, so as to disturb its prey. It is silently going to wait and watch.

Keep walking

Africa

Keep walking

â€˜Papi pet ka sawaal haiâ€™, so the Greater Flamingos keep walking and looking. Some are going alone, while others are hunting in pairs. Fortunately, other than feeding themselves, they have no other work and/or social media to attend to.

Aa gale lag ja

Africa

Aa gale lag ja

A hug is the ultimate deal. You give one, you get one. And these two birds are heading for a bear hug. They are cheerful, so it is not a hug to make the other feel better. They just want to do it.

One-man army

Africa

One-man army

The night is a bit far yet, but this one has taken over the security post already. With the sharp beak it has, the stick will not be needed. And in the dark, the black body will merge except the small red on the face.

Flamingo-aasan

Flamingo-aasan

These Greater Flamingos are doing a yogasan, trying to balance on one foot and they seem to be succeeding. A couple of them though are least interested, like spoilers in any other group.

Modern art or mystery?

Africa

Modern art or mystery?

This top view of acidic water looks like an abstract painting of sort. On closer look, there is a footmark of an animal in the water. If any danger is lurking by, that is a mystery.

Colour, colour, which colour

Africa

Colour, colour, which colour

Yellow, red, black, brown, white, off-white, grey, cream, blueâ€¦can you count any more. And if you have stopped figuring out the colours, do see the spider webs formed.

Come back soon

Come back soon

Waiting for her hubby to come home after work, this bird is all decked up with kohl-lined eyes. Seems a bit early for the sun to set, maybe she is waiting for the child to return from school.

How beautiful and colourful is this African roller painted by the creator, the biggest artist of them all. Though she canâ€™t camouflage herself with the green leaves, even if she tries to.

Clinging for dear life

Africa

Clinging for dear life

Sometimes we are so fearful in life that we cling on to safety, like this polka-dotted bird seems to be clinging to the branch, that we forget we can fly. The redhead seems hopeful though looking ahead with clear vision.

Framed by the thorns

Framed by the thorns

In this Budhha like meditative state, the colourful bird is unperturbed by its surroundings, whether thorns or the bark. The stark contrast between the glamorous creature and the stark settings is spectacular.

Fifty shades of green

Africa

Fifty shades of green

What an interplay of light and grass captured by the lens! A simple thing can be so beautiful, if seized at the right moment. The grass is surely greener on this side of the lens.
