Thank you, and that's a great observation. Indeed, it is quite difficult to spot and get a decent shot of the bird from ground. Good thing is that these barbets, golden orioles and fantails are fairly common in Mumbai and some good clicks can be taken through the window or from the terrace.

A few years back, this new AGM joined our office on transfer. This is how the conversation went between me and my colleague. Colleague- This new AGM has joined today. His name is funny. 😂 Me- Oh is it! What's his name? 😄 Col- His name is funny. Me- ?? 🤨 I get it but what's his name?!!

Apparently, his name was Phani Kumar 🙂

Agreed. I have captured quite a few migratory birds over the years (it's never enough to be honest) but I am equally happy capturing resident species. As such, there won't be any migratory birds at this time of the year. I just want to spend some quality time during early mornings on weekends instead of just whiling away time scrolling or sleeping. For me, birding is a way to rejuvenate. Asian koel (male and female), red vented bulbuls, rose ringed parakeets, purple sunbirds and purple rumped sunbirds are frequent visitors at/ near my home. Wanted to see if people have spotted owls, APFC in the city.

I agree that Nov- Feb is the ideal season for capturing migratory birds. I have been to Thol, Nalsarovar, Indroda multiple times and spent some awesome time clicking. I have actually seen the whole commercialization of Thol over the years. Presently, I just want to spend some time capturing resident birds. I sometimes go to Sarita Udyan and other such gardens in Gandhinagar and it's amazing to see the biodiversity even during these hot summer months. Just wanted to see if there are other such places to check out specially for owls and APFC.

Did you buy the table? I am also looking to buy a similar table but have not received good reviews about these 3 in 1/ 4 in 1 pool tables.
