Back In Black..........

Hey folks, it's wonderful to be back blogging again! I'm sorry for the long absence, but I'm back, and with some exiting stuff too.

Last Saturday was a great day in my life, for I was able to bag a really magnificent bird of prey, a Crested Serpent Eagle! He was perched on a power pillar in a rice field nearby, probably looking for some game, and obliged me with these two presentable shots before flying away.

Crested Serpent Eagle (Spilornis cheela spilogaster)

  The same day I captured  a family of Red-wattled Lapwings, two juveniles and their mother, as well as  flock of Scaly-breasted Munias.

And here are some more birds from the garden.

Yellow-billed Babbler  (Turdoides affinis)





Oriental Magpie Robin (Copsychus saularis)



I hope you enjoyed my photos and videos, and I'll drop by your blogs too. I will post again on next Friday if capture anything new by then, so stay tuned. Ciao!
