#BirdOfTheDay theme for today is #FoodFinds and I've shared some of my fav shots of #Birds with food in their beak quite often: little egret, a #blurd bee-eater, purple sunbird, a black kite #BirdsOfBlueSky #Photography #Nature #WildlifePhotography #EastCoastKin #raptor

an egret perched on a rope - with a piece of fish discard in its mouth.

the bird is white, has a head plume. the lower body feather are dirty (black in color) from the pollution in the dock side.

a green bird that has an insect in its beak is looking away from the photographer - the bird is green with shades of yellow and blue. its perched on a branch (perfectly focused) - as a result the insect is just slightly out of focus

a purple sunbird with iridescent blue feathers perched on a bunch of red flowers, with its long beak in the bloom to drink the nectar.

a black kite after grabbing something from the sea, is holding its claw closer to its mouth, so it can eat mid flight.

the bird has yellow claws, and a yellow beak ending in black tip. the wings are brown and white, and the flight wings are more brown. tail is fanned out.

the head is brown and light falling on it makes it glow.

Caught up with video editing, so late with (yesterday's) #BirdOfTheDay post - theme: #movement a #blurd Whiskered Tern, that was photographed just before the sunrise at a somewhat slow shutter speed for enough light to come through 🪶 🌿🖌️ #Photography #nature #EastCoastKin #BirdPhotography

a swiftly flying bird, photographed just as it was changing from its flying direction to hover and dive.

a white bird, whit grey and black cap, wings spread.

#BirdOfTheDay alternate theme today is #blurry (birds blurred in motion) -- so here's a trio of #blurd (and one for #TernTuesday) 🪶 📸📸 🌿🖌️ #Nature #Birds #Jungle #Safari #EastCoastKin

$a red breasted flycatcher photographed a fraction of second after it hopped off the branch.$

a female sunbird, hovering in front of a red flower as it drinks nectar. the bird is mostly olive green in color.

The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #LunchTime, so here are 1. Asian Green Bee-Eater, eating an insect (bee?) 2. Lesser Adjutant Stork, with a frog. 🪶 🌿🖌️ #Photography #Nature #Wildlife #EastCoastKin #Blurd

a large bird, looking towards the photographer with a frog in its beak - the belly is towards the photographer - and the head towards the stork. the frog is caught across the neck, and two of its hind legs are dangling.

the bird is large with black wings, and grey belly, it has a white head, with tuft of hair (resembling some evil mad scientist) - blue eyes and pale coloured beak.

there is green grass all around it, and near its leg you can see soil where it has dug to find the frog.

Alternate theme for #BirdOfTheDay is #Worst. If you're doing #Bird #Photography, you know the pain of missing the shot by a fraction of a second. Or the auto-focus finds something else more exciting. 🪶 🌿🖌️ #Photography #Nature #Wildlife #EastCoastKin #JunglesOfIndia #Blurd #WorstBirdPic

a slightly out of focus picture of an Indian Pond heron, perched on a branch. the leaves behind it is in focus.

a small bird with red eye black beak, brown cap, nape and wings. the chest is white. it has yellow legs. there are green leaves around

I was very excited about this photo I clicked, the camera decided to focus on the bark instead of the kingfisher Y___Y

a small bird with blue cap and wings, an orange brown mask and chest, and a white throat with black beak and black eyes and tiny pink feeties, perched on a branch, and slightly out of focus, and the bark on the tree next to it in focus.
there are green leaves in the background.

It's always crazy to shoot Terns! they are fast, and shooting them with a D7000 (+ Tamron 70-300) Was looking through the archive to share some pictures for #TernTuesday #Blurd #Birds #Photography #EastCoastKin #Nature #Wildlife (next month planning to photograph them with the #Nikon z6iii)

a common term, photographed from the front, it's head is in focus and wing span as well. there's a black cap, and the wings are dark from above.

it's flying over the dock water - which is littered with plastic.

a tern, just out of focus, as it makes a swift flight. there are small ferries in the background with people working/prepping to take it out for fishing.

another photo of the same bird, just out of focus - as it flies in front of a different ferry which has large containers on board to collect fresh catch.

Trying to photograph a Bee Eater with a bee in its mouth has its own challenge. Specially when they don't sit in one place for too long! Sometimes it's an almost got the shot moment! #Photography #Blurd #Birds #Nature.

Indian Rollers have the most beautiful shades of blue in their wings.
In Hindi they are called neelkanth (blue throated) -- also at one point (British India) they were called Blue Jays.

#BlueBird #Blurd #Nature #Birds #Photography 🪶 📸📸 🌿🖌️

A bird photographed midflight through a small frame, framed by trees (green leaves) you see multiple shades of blue on the wings.

The Indian roller is a bird of the family Coraciidae, 30–34 cm long having pinkish face and throat, the head and back are brown, with blue on the rump and contrasting light and dark blue on the wings and tail

A quick edit of a #blurd Whiskered Tern, that was photographed before sunrise (on a decenlt old DSLR) for #TernTuesday #BackyardWildlife #Nature #Birds #Photography 🪶 📸📸 🌿🖌️

Oh the auto focus chronicles are something of a mystery. #PhotoFailFriday #WorstBirdPic #birds #blurd

Been a long day, and while looking through the thumbnails, I thought this was a great photo for #TernTuesday, but it ended up being one for the #Blurd tag. lol. 🪶🌿🖌️ 📸📸

a slightly out of focus bird, with it's wings spread - black beak, and a grey cap. it's mostly white with some grey shades.

Have been spotting a pond heron from our window for weeks, but today almost managed to get a picture. but it #blurd out because #StickHappens 🪶 #Photography #BackyardBirding It flew away before I could click a better picture from a different angle.

An Indian Pond Heron sitting on a branch behind sticks, so I didn't get enough time to focus, before it flew away after the first photograph.

for #PhotoFailFriday here's a Jungle babbler that I was trying to click, and a second babbler landed in front of it and now the main subject is a little #Blurd and the new one is showing some #BirdButt #Birds #Photography
