It appears that our drumstick tree is the latest favourite of birds that visit our yard. White throated Kingfisher swinging from a branch. Picture taken by DD :).

Humming bird in the backyard.

Great shot Ambhi. Humming birds are so fascinating. I will setup a feeder for them in spring and watch for them.

Great idea. I wanted to capture when their wings were fluttering. But this darn bird is so fast it just files off. Will try with a feeder. There's also a large creek nearby. Will bike there every weekend once the weather improves to capture wildlife.

'Getting the lens' and 'Retirement' are Oxymorons given the high cost of these lens. :)
