The bee eater and roller are beautiful birds.  The spoonbill shot is really 
nice.  I also like the crow. Very scrawny looking compared to American crows.

Subash,
Wow, that's quite a set of animal photos!
Any one or two of those would be a thrill for me to capture.
But you have so many there...

their urban cousins are much better looking but it's a tough life out
there in the jungle... :) thanks for looking Christian, appreciate it...

Yeah, Birds, bucks and Dragon fly doesnt quite scan :-)

http://picasaweb.google.com/pdml.live/Kodiakkarai#slideshow/5560789665725093506

reminds me of your January PUG entry (duh, of course it does)  and I 
favor that one. a lot

with the sharp subject and nice Bokeh.

Also the pipit, The Pelicans, and  that spoonbill shot... well and 
others too.  I think

it would be a stronger set if you lost two  three Peacock shots - I like the
one where they appear to be necking, the tawny eagles and the second 
shot of
the black buck does.

i liked the 'necking' shot too but thought i should also include a shot
which shows the bird in full. may be it is not necessary. thanks for
the nice words Ann... about the PUG shot too...
