I am on twitching quest. Tuesday, 24 January 2012. Birds in my Yard. Nashik. As expected the stay in nashik for whatever time - was likely to be a busy one. All the same I am lucky enough that there are enough birds in my yard to keep me busy and occupied. This sunday was a great one with goo sightings. Though the birds did try their best to test my paitence - but then I could shoot a couple of them to my satisfaction. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

I am on twitching quest. Saturday, 25 July 2015. Get a life: Start with Bird Watching. I have been birding for a fairly long time and I have come across these repeated questions. As I sit doing nothing today I thought why not try and reply for a larger audience. The questions to start with are simple but with no straightforward replies. So let me deal with them as I deem fit. What is bird watching? How do I get started? If the answer is no then its time to take off some time from whatever you thought was...

I am on twitching quest. Monday, 12 January 2015. Birding in Patna and around. Jan 15 (updated on 01 Feb 15). Next day I had the opportunity to visit a close by city of Jehanabad and what a gold mine it presented me. I had a date with Indian Golden Oriole pictured above. That bird alone made my day. Other than this I saw a few more birds but this remained the highlight of the day. The next day I went to see the Ganges. We hired the boat at Mahatma Gandhi Setu. 2 Indian Golden Oriole. 3 Eastern Jungle Crow.

I am on twitching quest. Wednesday, 27 May 2015. Trip to Sattal and Pangot. 23 May 2015 to 25 May 2015. The planning was on through the months of March, Apr and May and finally fructified in the month of May 2015. The idea was planted by Ravi Arora (Chandigarh Birds) and then both coaxed it to action. The plan was simple - galvanise atleast 3 to 4 birders so that we can have good company and do some quality birding. Hence I called my ‘Taxi wala’ and decided on an Innova. The taxi asked for. While going w...

I am on twitching quest. Saturday, 29 November 2014. Canon 7D Mark II - a sincere review. Let me put my this article in perspective by giving it a little bit perspective. I am a birder, a hobbyist at that but a serious one. I do not mind kicking the road whenever I can spare some time and be out photographing them. I am not a commercial photographer in the sense that I have not sold a picture - not that I have not tried. Now the question - is is worth it? Short-eared owl, Mohali, India. Links to this post.
