Grebe - Textures

Made two visits to forest over last two months. One was to Bandipur and other was to BR hills. Here is a little grebe in breeding plumage moving along in golden evening light.

Red Whiskered Bulbul | Munnar

Here is a common red whiskered bulbul amidst green foliage in munnar evening light. Though i had clear images made some images through foliage to leverage on the foreground and background blur and create a sandwich effect on the bird. The textured out of focus branches in the back drop ( see bigger image ) think gives an impressionist feel to the image.

Flame Throated Bulbul | Thattekad

Here is a lovely flame throated bulbul in thattekad morning light. This is a subspecies of black crested bulbul. Though it looks very similar to ruby throated bulbul it is not the same. Ruby throated bulbul has a deeper red coloration in its neck in comparison to this bulbul.
