A patch of 100 meters

Kallamassey is located within the city limits of Kochi. I was told by a number of people about a particular place in Kallamessery where they have seen a lot of birds. So decided to give a visit to this called Birds Patch. I was accompanied by Anilkumar a colleague at my work.

I was surprised to see what I saw at this 100m or so Bird Patch.  And to my great pleasure, I had a couple of lifers too. The Indian Robin and Oriental Skylark.

Black Kites at Mysore - Kozhikode Road

On my way back to Kozhikode from Mysore, I saw a large number of raptors flying above.  I stopped the car and found that the birds are circling one of the waste dump area.  Managed to photograph a few shots of Black Kite.

Today at Ooty on the way to Mysore, took sometime for birding.  Nothing really great when compared to what Ooty can produce.  Again it was really raining and the whole are were wet.  Anyway here is what I got.
