Black-Shouldered Kite

Every Photographers have a dream to catch a birds or any Wild Animals in action . i have Canon 600D and 55-250mm lens so very difficult to take such photo with good focus.
but i got success. during taking close shots of Black-Shouldered Kite, it noticed me and fly but  kept my camera on focus to this beauty and continuous shot so it give me couple of clicks, but most of are hazy/out of focus etc.

Silhouette of Common Kingfisher

i was searching Common Kingfisher for Silhouette Photography since long time and my waiting was over after 8month of my Photography life.

it was very difficult to capture kingfisher in middle of sun as sun was going down and there was a wild babul tree but i did lil in for best one.
