Sunrise and a Sparrow
Posted in Arm-chair birding, Ashulia, Bird, Sparrow, nest, sunrise on Mar 27th, 2009
Up before dawn to try catch the early light. There was a bit of a rumble of distant thunder … though from the looks of the morning sky it seems unlikely there would be a sudden storm this morning [the season for the "Kaal Baisakh"Â - violent Nor'wester storms is coming up soon]. Drove out [...]

Posted in Bangladesh, Bird, Dhaka, Starling, Tailorbird, nature on Mar 10th, 2009
A nice morning for some arm-chair birding [the series of the Starlings were taken lying in bed and watching them through my bedroom window....AhHa!]. These photos were done with 2 SB800 speedlights in the Nikon CLS mode..

Have been travelling down this road to Ashulia and Savar for the past few weeks now, and every time I wished I had a camera with me. Today I did, but could not get the images I wanted. Here are a few “snapshots” from today taken from a moving car. Would have liked to have [...]
