A plover portrait…

A pied plover posing for a frame a moment after foraging on shoreline that left some wet mud on its beak. Just a moment in time captured from this small wading bird’s life that showcases the unique,cute and beautiful plumage of this quaint bird from South America. Let me know if you liked this shot

Take off…

An Amazon kingfisher plunges mid-flight into the water, emerging moments later with droplets suspended in the air — a powerful display of precision hunting and aerial agility. This time around, the bird had to lift off empty handed. Pantanal is great just not for jaguars but for some amazing moments with birds as well.

A watchful drink…

Back by popular choice, here’s a picture of a Jaguar 🐆 I captured in Pantanal last July. We were trailing this beautiful car along the shorelines when the cat paused and leaned into the water to drink water. I managed to get the shot as we struggled to move to a good position to take this shot. The cats watchful and focused eyes while drinking water shows how alert the animal is to its surroundings. Let me know if you liked this shot…

A golden itch…

A flamingo attends to an itch while foraging at daybreak in golden light. The birds observes my presence while attending to the itch. An interesting play of light with this image and the pose of the bird gives a good compositional appeal to this image. Do you agree?

A landing moment…

It’s winter and the mallards are back in Qudra Lakes. A moment captured at daybreak in golden light showing one of the mallard ducks maneuvering to land into a lake full of ducks. I can still visualize and feel the cold morning when I see this image. Let me know if you liked this shot and moment

Fresh catch…

Being lucky is an understatement with my the trip to Pantanal. Was lucky to see this jag cross the river swimming, catch a cayman and drag to eat the catch on the shoreline. This was one of the shots captured briefly after the cayman was killed after a prolonged struggle.

The shake off…

A unique behavior observed in water birds that include these black headed gulls, is the mid air shake off, of water from their wet plumage. These are seen moments after the birds take flight and is not a shot that’s easy to predict and capture. Lucky to capture this one. Let me know if you have seen this behavior before and if you liked this version of mine.

The flight …

A little owl in mid flight between two of its usual roosting spots frozen in time! They are extremely swift and quiet in flight. So quiet that sometimes you’d miss seeing them fly, let alone capture it.

The turquoise sweater…

Remembering this beautiful Green Thorntail Hummmingbirf and its perch on a cold morning in Costa Rica. Can’t believe it has been almost 5 years since capturing this shot.

A Cheeky Check…

Yet another mammal from the Brazil trip, the Black striped Capuchin Monkey. 🐒 I’m always amazed by the agility these wonderful creatures possess and in this instance, this little guy passed through the foliage within seconds before disappearing. The image was captured when he momentarily locked eyes with the crew. Let me know if you liked this backlit shot.

A floating fiery…

A fiery hummingbird being verbal in mid flight in an attempt to take charge of a feeder nearby from fellow hummingbirds. These incredibly beautiful hummingbirds definitely gives a contrasting presence to its surroundings.
