Couldn't agree more. I've managed to only one decent picture of a

Those are great! Thanks!
I've only taken a few of birds on my back porch - I don't have a long
lens (a 70mm on my D70) but the main problem is exposure - the best
ones look like your picture of the bee eater & the colors don't
match what I see with my eye.
Of course - I should just play with this

that reminds me, even for the Calcutta renaming, the initiative was

Point. I never thought of the infrastructural demands it would require.
I do remember the amount spent in Mumbai though when they started
changing it all.
That not withstanding, the move was desired and favoured by many, wasnt

IMHO this has got nothing to do with either the progress or
introjection of the city into the past. When shiv sena did it with
Bombay, they too were playing the same politics. I think this is one of
the last vestiges of the fact that Indian states were created on the
basis of language...and now tha
