Magic Flight of Redvented Bulbul

Gallery: AvianPosted May 6, 2010141 views3 comments

This image was taken at the Tadoba National Reserve, Maharashtra, India.

I was waiting near a waterhole expecting the arrival of a male and a female tiger which were close by, mating. While waiting, I noticed a large number of birds using the same waterhole and and decided to spend the time usefully!

Looks like a bul bul Srini ...The bird by itself is wonderful with the wing action and....well it looking other way would have a been a big bonus....

You made great use of the wait. The comp is a bit quirky, but that's a good thing. Interesting red vent, really stands out in this otherwise earth colored setting.
