Took a trip to Uran today. Well the land filling of the marshes are well underway. The bushes that screened the water are all chopped off. The pools are smaller and my favourite temple pool where the spoonbills land, will soon also be filled up . All in all, Uran and its ecology is pretty much gone. The birds are fewer and, those that are there are much further away. A steller birding area close to Mumbai is at its death throes.
Temple Pond being filled
Well, I did find a nice Baya Weaver nest and made some flight image. The only way is to pre-focus and let the motor drive do its stuff. Even then , had to predict where to prefocus. Really tough ones these and they are still not where I want them to be. But any case, here goes.
Yep “almost” got them.
Finally, something a bit more usable…..
And here is a funny one where these birds ended up fighting over the female and between two females !
Awesome ones, Krish. You managed more keepers than I did . A case of FF v/s 1.3 crop . But then it was fun and I think we should do it again
Terrific shots…superb
Usable photos of Uran are simply amazing. I wish you had more light…I liked the one where the weaver is enroute to the nest the best. There is a good seperation of objects…
The 5th Image is just amazing.One can wait a lifetime for this moment to capture it.
Great work….Ashish
I would say that this is a life timer shots. surely a kind of an achievement to have such a beautiful moments captured so perfectly. A huge congrats on this Krish.
wonderful!
