Blue bird sighted........


Finally managed to sneak up on the bird to take this pic!  This is the highlight of my day.

The fellow together with two of his/her friends came often to rest around the house.  I have on couple of times to shoot a pic and the bird flew off upon sensing movements.  This bird is actually a white breasted kingfisher and according to a 'guru of birds' they are quite common in residential gardens.  Hmmm....and I thought I was one of the privileged few to sight them.

In the flutter of his/her wings, a feather fell to the porch.  What a delightful find - I am going to use it as a bookmark.  As you can see, the bird is of bright blue on its back and white chested with rust brown belly.
