Geographically Pune is quite diverse comprising of large water bodies, mountain ranges, plateaus. Each geographical location houses a habitat for birds, including migratory bids. Places like Mulshi, Bhigvan, Sihagad Valley, Kavdi etc serve an excellent treat to birdwatchers. These sites are within 50-100km radius and are easily accessible by road. The best time for birding in Pune is from September(closure of monsoon) to April (beginning of harsh summers). Flamingos are the main attraction during Dec-Feb time period. In addition, the residential localities of the city too are abundant with birds like sun birds, bee eaters, ashy prinias, tickells blue flycatchers etc.
For the past few months (before Monsoon) .. I have been addicted to bird photography. The new Canon Gear at hand, inspired all the more. Though the glass that I possess is considered a mediocre choice for bird photography, I am content with the results.
I am novice at bird photography, so any comments\suggestions are most welcome...

Thanks Pankaj and Bakya for the encouragement .. though the 400mm is out of question for atleast a decade :(

Hello Amit,
Firstly, awesome! simply awesome photographs.
I myself bought a Nikon D3200 recently and tried bird photography with the Nikkor 18-55. Lacks zoom BIG time!! :P
