Orange-backed Woodpecker

By nature, by season, man cannot have his wish by will.

By a little timeliness, perhaps luck, or will of Nature (?), this female Orange-backed Woodpecker was spotted in time due to a mere squeak.

 

Square-tailed Drongo-cuckoo

Familiarity does not breed contempt.

Different view points leave different impressions. 

The other beauty

Argiope (orb-weaver spider)

Chestnut-breasted Malkoha

Success can assume varied appearances, a catch, a sighting.

Time when a threat is mere perception, unwarranted.

And so, as I took my eyes off the Chestnut-breasted Malkoha for a second, then to return my focus and was shocked to see that it had amazingly gulped down its frog prey till its hind legs, obviously still guarded against my presence/threat!

Secure and relaxed once again.

Brown-throated Sunbird

The common sometimes can be a disappointment, how so!? 

It's not often that the Brown-throated Sunbird catches the sun beams ever so rightfully.

As I was waiting

 Sometimes the taman has interesting visitor.

Large woodshrike

The most unexpected can bring much joy, regardless, open up.

What you get when you stand below a Large Woodshrike after a bath, shower of happiness.

As I was passing by

Thanks for the presence!

Not welcomed

 A couple of days later it has appeared again.

However, sometimes a visitor has no place in another’s space, as this Crested Honey-buzzard was pursued and eventually chased off by a Changeable Hawk-eagle.
