Oriental Dwarf Kingfisher (Male and female Bird)
Chiplun,Maharashtra.
June 2016.
Just came back from chiplun , had one of the best sightings of my life of ODKF. Saw this beautiful and elegant birds together for ample amount of time in that two days . This was a shot trip of two days, we did only two sessions and got a bag full of images. We started shooting in afternoon, we saw this pair a lot of times in near by trees but they never come together on their favorite perch in the late afternoon they came together for first time on their favorite perch and after that they were not ready to separate and kept coming on the perch and it continue for next 19 times for that day and next one, I clicked around 1500 + images of them together and a 21min of video with my 1dx and 7D Mark ii
In my opinion this was a bumper draw sighting for me .. I am just glad to have made the decision of going to chiplun.
