White Throated Kingfisher

at Alibag..

We saw this kingfisher near Akshi Beach at Alibag, just as we were making our way back home....



It was quite far off to begin with, but as we continued to wait, it came closer and closer, and gave us better opportunities to take photographs!


These were three of the better shots I managed.... a front view, a back view and a bottom view! I enjoyed having my new camera with me for this!!

    It must be a joy to have a camera with a decent zoom!

    I've seen a kingfisher only in Vijay mallya's products and services! They look gorgeous! It's nice to carry your camera everywhere so that we don't miss any beauties like this!

      Actually, Vaish, I do see kingfishers all the time near my house! This is the first time though that I have managed a decent shot, thanks to the new camera! and yes, I do carry my camera along most of the times!
