    Default Red Vented Bulbul

    TV 1/25, f 8, ISO 500, 100-400@235, built in flash bounced from the roof. A solid Manfrotto 055XPROB purchased for this shoot.


    This Bulbul has set up her residence across two wires on which a creeper is growing in my garage. She has laid eggs and hatched them here. For the last two days I have been observing her feeding the three chicks. In a span of an hour or so 5 courses of (insects and one vegetarian dosa) meal were fed on the first day. Today, seven courses of insects.....different each time....were fed.

    It is good that you have been observing from a distance, as nesting photography can be a issue, as it might harm the chicks. Using a wider aperture like f8 would have been good as presently the shutter speed it very low. The second image looks better. Nice moment captured. Thanks for sharing.

    Hi

    Nice moment and well pictured.

    Agree with Mrudul, nesting photography is a sensitive issue, which has had some indepth discussions in the past . . .

    Default Red Vented Bulbul

    Mrudul, Rajan and friends,

    I read the thread posted by Rajan.

    This nest in in my garage. I do not let any one else closer to the car except the guy who cleans the vehicle. The doors are not banged when I get in/out of the car. First thing in the morning and the last thing in the night I check on them. They are doing good. In fact the mother perches on my car door even if I am in the car. :-)

    Aware of the privacy of the birds, I was about 10 feet (far end) away using a 100-400.

    Immediately after I read Mrudul's observation I have not photographed them.

    Thank you for your inputs.

    Anand
