World and the Wild - Bird Watching and Wildlife Photography

 While birding along the shores of the eastern province,this time of the year again i spotted some huge flocks of Great Crested Grebes.These birds are some what special and its always a treat to watch them. I believe this time the numbers are even more then the last year. Rough count would be like 100-150 birds together. I was able to get some photos for a record and kept watching them for an hour till they went far away.

 Birding had been a bit slow for a while due to routine. Today  while birding in the near reeds near the shores i witnessed 2 red vented bulbuls among huge flock of White Eared bulbuls. The presence was not much welcomed by them and the red ones had to flee. Its an uncommon bird to be seen in the eastern region .The numbers have reduced from past decade where it is said to be commonly seen around.
