Most lakes in Bangalore are filled with garbage. There are only a few patches of natural habitat for birds and animals. People use most lakes in rural Bangalore for camping, drinking, playing loud music, cooking, and leaving behind a pile of garbage. There is no escaping garbage in Bangalore.

Looks like a creepy smile, right? And that ghostly eye? It’s not scary—it’s a nictitating membrane, a clever design for survival.

Mark, I had to cheat. No photos from #OneYearAgoToday, but this is from 2 years ago today. A male vermillion flycatcher hangs on some dead branches. 🪶📸
A red and black small flycatcher hangs on some dead tan branches hanging straight down. In the background is a blurry tan mountain range with blue skies above.

Black-Winged / Black-Shouldered Kite

I thought these birds were black kites. The nice folks over at iNat helped ID the bird. Apparently, these are Western Marsh Harriers. I photographed them in early 2025, but they looked completely different.

Not looking forward to shoveling it tomorrow 😩

Back now folks. Going to go through as many #BirdOfTheDay captures as I can. Here’s another for #Solitude taken today. Known as a Common Buzzard here and a hawk on other continents. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin
A Common Buzzard stands upright on a weathered brick wall capped with rough stones, its body facing forward while its head turns slightly to the right in alert profile. The large raptor has rich brown upperparts with mottled feathering and a pale cream chest marked with dark vertical streaks and spots. Its hooked beak is yellow at the base with a dark tip, and its sharp eye catches the light, giving an intense, watchful expression. Yellow legs and talons are visible beneath its body, gripping the uneven surface of the wall, where small tufts of grass and moss grow between the bricks. The background is softly blurred in deep green and dark tones, suggesting woodland or countryside, which isolates the buzzard and emphasizes its solid, powerful form in warm natural light.

Here's a scene for the #BirdOfTheDay today, which Alan has set to #solitude.

#photography #birds #vultures #coloraday #bluetue
A long gnarled leafless branch grows into the scene from bottom right corner into the middle left, with several bends and turns. About halfway up a single branch shoots upwards and a vulture sits at the end of it. Behind is a series of darker clouds that give way to sunlight clouds at the top of the frame.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Solitude, open to interpretation. The alt is #gardenbirds set by @alan678.bsky.social ~ so many photos I could have chosen for this theme & decided to go with this Cormorant drying its wings 🪶🦉 #birdingWales #ukbirding #birdphotography #ukwildlife #EastCoastKin
Photo taken at Radyr Weir ~ Forest Farm NR - Cardiff - South Wales A cormorant is a large, sleek, dark bird, like a goose crossed with a loon, known for its almost prehistoric look, long neck, and glossy black feathers that can shimmer blue-green in the light. You'd recognize it by its distinctive silhouette, often standing with wings spread wide to dry after diving for fish, a heavy build, and a long, thin, hooked beak, feeling solid and powerful. They have striking eyes and often orange-yellow skin around their face and throat, making them very noticeable near water.

📍 River Ken, Panna. India

#Photography #Nature #WildlifePhotography #EastCoastKin #Raptor #PhotoMonday #FotoMontag
A bird sitting on stone, with one leg holding the other, between green grass. there is stone (river bank) behind. Bird description from iNat: The woolly-necked stork is a medium-sized stork. The iris is deep crimson or wine-red. The stork is glistening black overall with a black "skull cap", a downy white neck which gives it its name. The lower belly and under-tail coverts are white, standing out from the rest of the dark coloured plumage. Feathers on the fore-neck are iridescent with a coppery-purple tinge. These feathers are elongated and can be erected during displays.

Managed to put together a video with the clips I shot. Several bird-in-flight videos I thought were decent turned out to be shaky, and some of them even had the wrong shutter speed. However, a good exercise to learn DaVinci Resolve :)
