The rare poser!

Bengaluru, Karnataka

July 2023

Name: Wire-tailed Swallow (Hirundo smithii)

Whenever I see this bird flying around, I keep clicking it with the hope of getting a good frame that day. I go back home and check and they are like ok types, better luck next time. Least did I expect in my recent lake visit that I’ll get to see it resting…

Portrait of Oriental Darter

Pallikarnai Marshland is the place where I captured this image. Its a sequel of my previous post.

Idea behind the image:

I saw him perched on a branch in the middle of the lake. Since my position was a bit higher than the lake just by sitting on the ground i was able to get an eye level shot. At 1st I took some…
