That’s a fantastic variety of birds. I intend to develop my bird photography skills now that I’m retired. Love the langur too - I won’t be developing my langur photography skills as they are a bit thin on the ground round here. > On 17 Jan 2021, at 10:18, Subash Jeyan wrote: > > me and my

Re: GESO (33): birding in the nilgiris

I have two of this model. Its very small collapsed and fits in any bag or in your pocket. Extended about 1.6 meter and Strong enough to support a long lens if you keep your hands on the lens. If it ever fails just buy a new one. Velbon has something similar and feels a little stronger and smoother

Re: GESO (33): birding in the nilgiris

That's a great gallery, Subash. Perhaps the birds there are quite tolerant of humans? I say this because you seem to be able to get quite close. Nice to see the nightjars - I hear them in winter but seldom see them. Pretty bee-eaters too. BTW, did you ever find the "Voetspore India" DVD's?

A lovely gallery, Subash -  I think it was lucky you didn't have bright sunlight.. foggy rainy days soften the light and , I think, better serve the revealing of true colors in the birdies..  and it's easier on one's eyes too.  And that  langur portrait is wonderful, too! ann On 1/17/2021

me and my son Adit went on a birding road trip to masinagudi and kothagiri (roughly 600 km from chennai), both in the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve in the Western Ghats, from january 10-16. we were dogged by unseasonal rains in the hills and it was foggy with poor light most of the time. but,
