Kentish Plover

Mostly i avoid to being dirty but since last year end, i was changed due to photography for taking ground level shots.
On 10th January'16 i was with my Vijayendrabhai,Prasadbhai and Niharbhai as posted in "Orphean Warbler" at Suvali Beach n it was time limited as i have to return around at 11am.we reached Suvali beach around at 10am n we all searching birds.water was far away in sea so we all moved towards water on beach n Vijayendrabhai saw plover,himself n Niharbhai started clicking.also i clicked but i thought,it is a Lesser Sand Plover. Vijayendrabhai told that real beauty of this water birds will came when we take ground level shots. so myself also lying down n started crouching at a distance where i took shots.we all four are away from each other n got osm shots.
after taking shots when Vijayendrabhai shared his photo with name of  Kentish Plover,i am shocked coz i was avoiding to click due to Lesser Sand Plover n get Kentish Plover.

Neil island

i am so confused,from where to start, sharing my photos as i was on trip to Andaman with my family n friends.The trip was started on 17th January'16.finally i found this photo for start.
we were stayed Neil island on 22nd January n on 23rd we did check out from our hotel around at 8am n went to Bharatpur Beach as our schedule.did shopping n about 10.30am our driver came to drop us at jetty of Neil island.we reached around at 10.40am and waiting for Our cruise ship as its timing was 11.15am. sudden i see White-bellied Sea Eagle n went to frame it on beach side.took many good shots.after flying away this eagle,thought for kingfisher as 6types of kingfisher are seen here so walked ahead n ahead.
i think, i had walked aprx 1km n got nothing,time was near 11am so thought to return n seen this beauty of Landscape.couldn't resist myself to fame but i forget to carry my bag n my 2nd camera with 50mm was in that bag so took this shot in Samsung E5 in HDR mode as clicking in whole trip.

But timing to leave for birding is 6.40 so i was so late.its chilling for me on bike,even though i drive at 60km/h speed n reached my friend Vijayendrabhai's home where another friend Prasadbhai and Niharbhai were waiting for me since 15min.
They all ready with their car n all where asking for go for mine car,finally decided to go in Niharbhai's Nissan Terrano.Vijayendrabhai n myself decided to go at Suvali beach,Surat outskirt fo Eurasian Thick knee as our luckiest person Dr.Divyangbhai sighted,its a 1st sighting of Eurasian Thick kne in our area after 20-30min we reached at one point where more than 50 Black Kite, Black-eared Kite n crows where flying so thought for other raptors n Niharbhai stopped car.due to little fog n low light my self decided to stop clicking but my friends were clicking.sudden i hear a sound of airplane n searching for it for silhouette so i was focusing on sun,even after 1-2min didnt find the plane.later Prasadbhai n we talked about it find its a sound of Turbine of Reliance factory.in between Prasadbhai clicked my Photo,i will share it later.
its 7.40am so i told to move n we turned towards beach.after drive of 15min Prasadbhai asked to stop car so we stopped n he saw a raptor but it was Shikra.we all were ready to click but fly away still we follow the shikra n turned on different road.we all got good shots of shikra n decided to move ahead on this road if we got any new winter bird.
After drive of 5min,Reached at lil up area n decided to return.so Niharbhai turned the car n sudDen again Prasadbhai asked to stop the car,he told to locate in bushes where he saw new bird in our area n its our jackpot.
We all dont know the exact id of the bird bird clicked from car.then one person came on bullet n this bird went inside.we all came out n waited for this bird but didn't got chance to click.

Indian Roller Portrait

While we were on the way to Ninai waterfall,we stopped somewhere on a low level bridge after exhausted car trekking.it was horrible experience of car trekking,where only one car can pass.if another will come from front side then no one will cross each other,and if lil mistake you been down to hill...will share this story later when i upload a landscape.
after refreshing of 30+min we further on our route and after drive of 30min we reached on a road...yes on a road where you can drive upto 100+km/h.
i reached the speed of 90+ then sudden strike about my friend n when i saw in rear view mirror,unable see the 2nd car so decreased speed to 40km/h.after 2-3min of drive,i saw an Indian Roller sitting just close to road a small branch n stopped.as i had clicked many shots but this time Indian Roller was at my eye level so started clicking very carefully n got some osm shots.

Common Kingfisher

My birding friend Paragbhai got news that vultures were seen so i went on bike coz i have to go inside the no road area where farms were. i felt very cold  on 24/12/15 even around at 8.30am.after reaching given location,i didn't seen vulture so called the local person but didn't pick my phone.
little disappointed but went near by 15-20km and searched for vultures.after zero result,decided to go my favorite place tena.even didn't find any new birds.while i was driving,seen Common Kingfisher was sitting close to road. i don't know why Common Kingfisher ignored me coz i was passed from hardly 3-4ft away n parked my bike in very hurry.
Take shots from distance n then lying down myself on ground took 3-4 shots.then crawl towards this beauty.i reached at one point where my Tamron 150-600 was unable to focus so get back myself. i took 20+photos n 4videos.then i again crawl back without disturbing and on the engine of bike still this beauty was enjoying there,myself went away.
