New begining.... Ratnagiri

[Prasad Dingankar]

Back to work. My five day leave extended to almost eight days. Still it was not enough..... :)

About this photo, The guess about this birds location was right. It was the same as previous. Its new begining. I tried my best to maintain safe distance, not to disturb the bird.

Lovely eye contact. Liked the catch light. Seems it is making a nest in the tree. Nicely captured. Thanks for sharing.

With mango trees bearing fruit (some may still be blossoming) in Ratnagiri; Barbets would be very happy. However, I have never read joy in their eyes.
Nice image. Colours look natural. All IDs are clearly visible.Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

Nice image. The whiskers have come out well. It seems to be curious and has raised its head. Why is the background like this? I am sure you had a great time in ratnagiri. Thanks for sharing.
