News from Hebbal lake

Grey tit can be seen quite often playing around in sun

Ashy prina can always be found busy doing something under bushes. After a while it comes out in open.

Purple rumped sunbirds are very busy during morning. Just wait for a while and you can get it close enough  and get a decent shot. 

One more closeup shot of Purple rumped sunbird. See its face is covered with pollen.

Purple moorhen is very common bird here. 

White-cheeked Barbet can be seen sometimes, though most of the times it is perched high on trees. This time I got it close enough though.

Red-whiskered bulbul is so commonly seen all around Bangalore and Hebbal lake is no different. This time it seems to have got something for breakfast. 

Another shot of Grey tit.

Tickell's flycatcher can be seen sometimes. I have spotted it about 3-4 times at Hebbal.

Tickell's flowerpecker is another bird that is very common here. Wait for some time and it gets very close to you and gives chance to shoot frame filling shots.

Small blue kingfisher has some fixed places where it can be spotted easily. 

Tailor bird can also be seen in plenty, but strangely I haven't able to get more shots of this bird. This is the best that I have got.
