Flight of a sunbird!

 

This "purple rumped sunbird"  was sitting for very long time on a nearby tree. I was holding my lens and waiting in patience! Finally it jumped to fly. I was so fortunate to freeze the moment in the frame! (By the way, it is not jumping towards that dragonfly on the top-left corner!)

You can't take me.... I'm free....

This picture was taken near Devghar dam last Sunday. This was a very beautiful but unidentified insect.

Parrot!

Everyday morning on a nearby tree we have a guest - this parrot. Since I have taken so many phots of it I thought I should give  it some sort of publicity!!
