Habitually Good

Yesterday, I was distracted from work a little because I noticed that outside my window sat one of my favorite birds: a Kingfisher. I scrambled for my camera and by the time I could set it up, I noticed that the bird was gone. However, having taken some bird photos in the past, it was my experience that birds usually hang around the same area and for Kingfishers its specifically true since I have seen them perch at one place for hours.

So, well I looked around for a few minutes, and sure enough I saw it sitting right there on the building next to where I was. Time to click photos I said, and here is what came out:

In the one above, the bird was about to regurgitate something. I didn’t catch what it was – maybe some food it didn’t like so much.In these two photos, the kingfisher finally got bored of sitting around and decided to fly away further and further; but not before I managed to catch these two shots. In the second one (the one below), it stopped by that planter to get a drink from within it (it must have been watered recently), and then proceeded to rub its beak against the side.

All in all, it was a fascinating experience.

Since this post is about photography, I think it makes sense to also let the reader know that I maintain a Flickr stream of my best photos: Vaibhav’s Photo Stream (which may not be all that good being the amateur that I am).
