This blog intends to share with fellow bird watchers and those interested in avian life around us experiences gathered in my short birding trips in and around Kolkata mostly and occasionally during  inter state visits to different sanctuaries. Let me admit first that I'm no expert in this trade. Only an amateur who loves birds and gets excited when everything goes right for a good, satisfactory bird-shot in the wilderness.I will upload photos seeking views , suggestions and experts' comments. I will upload quite a few for ID also and will eagerly await nomenclatures offered.. Hope you will be with me all along. Thanks.
