Today's post is a selection of some of the birds that are not from my backyard but taken in nature reserves and while on a picnic. Our backyard birds come in three basic colours: black, white, and grey!!:) This Golden Oriole was taken at a resort in the outskirts of our city. I have posted some of these photos before but that was all before I joined Springman's meme. The photos also say...don't you think it's time you changed to a better camera? Hmm...I'm listening...I'm listening!
This Crimson Sunbird was spotted on a drumstick tree last year. We were out on a picnic near a river and was I glad I saw this!
A winter scene...pigeons peck at some of the remaining grains in a rice field. After the harvest these are how the fields look in this season.
And a flock of pelicans that I photographed at the local zoo.

nice to see different birds we don't get here! good luck on the new camera wish, too! :)
Great series of birds that we're not lickely to see here. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Wonderful birds to see...
I love your dragonfly header, is this the same one you have had for the last few days? I can't remember. A good variety of birds. Why are they called Indian Rollers!
Great selection.
I'd love to see a Golden Oriole.
to me photos are for the experiences they help me hold on to..not for the expert quality...these are wonderful memories that you shared..Michelle
Beautiful collection of birds. And your photos are great captures. I would love to see them all, especially the Indian Roller. Thanks for sharing, Happy New Year!
The first three birds are really lovely to see, they are so colourful. Beautiful captures all round.
Nice captures of these colorful birds!
What a range of colors, shapes, and sizes. Those pellies look like they are enjoying life!
A nice series of photos and I hope Santa - or Someone! - was listening to your wish for a new camera!!
Great photos of some birds I've never seen before! Very nice!
Some fantastic colours there! You got such great shots of the Sunbird, the Roller and the Golden Oriole.
I rather like that Indian Roller. I wonder if the 'Roller' has something to do with his song at all?
I can't decide which I like the most:)
Happy New Year to you!
Love your archives. It's funny, I have a camera that says the same thing to me!! (But if I get a new camera I won't have anything to blame for my poor pictures!) You chose some good pictures though -- it's not obvious that you need a better camera at all.
I love the Crimson sunbird. Awesome sighting! Now about that new camera. Sounds like your ready for the challenge of the Dslr!
Happy New Year!
Lovely bird photos! I have been fascinated by the Indian Roller since I first heard of that species.
