The Indian White-eye (Ganeshgudi) represents the everyday miracle of our ecosystems — small, energetic, essential. It does not demand attention with flamboyant colour or rare status. It simply goes about its life, stitching together the fabric of the landscape.

Green bee eater !!!
I love the way the green bee eaters spread their wings when they land and take off. I adjusted my camera settings and focused on it when it was perched on the tree, looking for the insects. It’s difficult to predict it’s direction and this time it flew towards me .
