Grey headed canary flycatcher

Discovered this little bird in the neighborhood accidentally as the naked eye could not make it out, it was only through the camera lens that I could detect a flash of yellow ...


As you can see, this bird also appears to be giving me the license to shoot, for a few moments at least, before fancy took it elsewhere


A little apprehensive, as it seems! Time to fly away ...

A day in April

 
There cannot be nothing much to say beneath a sky like that, especially in April! 

Was happy to discover that one of the three jacaranda trees that I had planted two years ago has started to flower. Soon, the street in front would be covered in violet blossoms when the first rain clouds begin to drift in   

One of the resident sunbirds has had the April fever real bad it seemed, for it went on a chirping broadcast merrily on top of the deodar tree
And it was really curious at this human who seemed nothing but a minor annoyance!


The night had that kind of a moon up again. Thin sliver of a moon that always reminds one of the curve of your smile ...
