Thanks!

I live in India, at the foothills of the Himalayan mountains to be more precise. The birds I click are all out in the wild as I am lucky to have ready access to nearby forest areas which witness a lot of migration activity.

In any event, ever since I started shooting birds, I was surprised as to how many of them are there out in the wild - even parks and wastelands - It's a classic case of - the more I see, the more I see.

Cheers ... J.R.

These images are from my recent trip to Australia. In San Remo - Phillip Island Beach (Victoria - Australia), this old lady feeds wild Pelicans & Stingray fish everyday at 12 noon ... she does this to raise awareness & funds for wildlife conservation. What is incredible about it is that these wild Pelicans and the Stingray fish come to the beach everyday at exactly the same time to get their free meal ... its quite a sight to see and an amazing experience. Also, during the feeding time, the Pelicans are jostling and fighting for the right spot, creating lots of noise ... but once the feeding time is over, all the Pelicans gracefully & peacefully leave the place, in a orderly fashion ... the whole seen is quite amusing.

These are wild Parakeets at Dandenong Ranges (Victoria, Australia) ... although they are wild, they look for free food from visitors ... a very beautiful place with lots of wild Australian birds.

Quite disgusting isn't it! ;) My newly hung feeder is attracting chickadees and nuthatches in all their spelendid colors.
