Scaly-breasted Munia (Lonchura punctulata)

It was a sunny morning after a wait of two weekends, and I was at my favorite destination @ Ameenpur lake for the Birding..Thanks to the Farmers who has just seeded their fields  and these small beauties started gathering on shrubs around the fields for their breakfast... Funny thing was Farmer was trying to get them off from the fields and as soon as he moves to different place they start to gather again on that shrub.. I decided not to waste the time and just sit around near that shrub and keep waiting and finally a group turned up again..took my first shot and just waited then one of them started preening the bill of another one, that made up my shot for the day :)

Got some more shots of them alone, One thing is sure these small beauties are one hell of a poser and can burn any Ramp :)

 Here is some more info about them on Wikipedia :

The Indian Silverbill or White-throated Munia (Euodice malabarica)

The Name Indian Silverbill she got looks quite obvious, Look at the bills silver in color and found in India so Indian Silverbill !!

I have been trying to capture Indian Silverbill from last couple of weeks, but was not able to get close as i got on 8th, July 2012. Initially there was group of five who were sitting on the shrub, as i started getting closing by, one by one started flying off, but this beauty seems to be not affected or she just wanted to give pose as she knew me from last 2-3 weeks as i have been trying to get nearby to get her shot :)

Guys to be honest, i'm in love with this beauty, and going to get more shots ....will try to get some action sequences this time, looks like she can pose for me now onward as she has started getting acquainted :)

The Indian Robin (Saxicoloides fulicatus )

Indian Robin Female, Very familiar in Indian Outskirts, you can find her any where, at your balcony, on your roof, in paddy fields and often seen running along the ground or perching on low thorny shrubs and rocks.

I spotted her in botanical Garden in Hyderabad, where i was sitting to get some action sequences of Red Vented Bulbul, Then Robin started moving around me trying to grab my attention i believe, she was not afraid of coming near me and finally she changed my Cannon to focus towards her and i grabbed some different postures of her. All the shots are from Cannon EOS 1100D  and with Cannon 55-250 Lens handheld. Read more info about her here Wikipedia : (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Robin)
