I frequently go birding near JNPT in Uran. There are a lot of migratory birds that one can find here...

Last set of bird pictures. These are not high quality but i felt like posting them none the less. Its a sequence of a bee eater chasing and catching a dragon fly mid air. These are not my best or the most tak clear shots but it was immensely difficult to capture these due to the speed at which it was happening.

All of the above pictures were taken using my kit which consist of the following:
Canon 60d
Canon 300 F4L IS with a Canon 1.4x converter
Canon 135 F2L
Canon 24-105 F4lL IS
Sigma 150-500 3.5-5.6 VC

Will soon post the mammal part of my wild life photography, uploading all the above pics from my cell phone was quite a task :P

Well done, Kshitij, some excellent photography there

Most likely your unidentified bird is a Dark Fronted Babbler

Keep up the good work

Good work kshitij :D
Capturing the moment is sometimes more important than the clarity of the image...
The Paradise Fly catcher seems very content with its catch - a good snack for the little fellow / felli :lol:
