It was fun chasing the birds for their portraits. I had good company in Jo,
Rima and Animesh. Exploring the countryside early morning or in the golden hour of evening is so refreshing.
I had got the Sigma 100-400 just before the trip. It was almost a decade since my last birding lens, the Tamaron 200-400. I struggled a bit to get focus and finally shot mostly manual.
Sighting the hornbills was most exciting. The sunbird was so shy and required a lot of patience. The hoopoe was on the path and watched us with so much suspicion. The bee eaters used to sit still for long minutes, almost as if posing.
