Green bee eater in flight!

Today morning was excellent! We went to nearby fort - Sinhgad, where we spent substantial time trying to get the flight of green bee eater. It turns out that these bee eaters are extremely erratic in their flight so it required substantial time and shots to get this pic!

A frog!

We found this beautiful frog near 'Tamhini' village. It looked beautiful on the backdrop of the green grass! The frog was bit unusual!

Numbers!!!

Wonderful village!

Posting after quite a long time!

This is a small village near the Fort Ratangad. It was monsoon and the fields are green. The rooftops give perfect contrast to the backgound!

These are Flamingos! They are winter visitors. They come to India from Africa(?) every winter and they come in huge flocks. Thousands of them have arrived in the backwaters of Ujani dam at Bhigvan (भिगवण) on Pune-Solapur highway. The pink color of the Flamingos is of its own kind! (The last bird in the photo is not pink as it is still  a juvenile).

Shimla Office

This is the famous regional Meteorological department building located at ShivajiNagar, Pune. It is popularly known as "Shimla Office". The picture was taken from a "photography prohibited" zone. ;)

This is an Egret! Early morning it took off as it saw me with my lens! :) Its vivid yellow feets attract the attentions in the green background!
