The Oriole is a belter Tony. When I see Black-winged Kite shots it brings both envy and the bad memory of being locked in a box for 16 hours whilst seeing nothing! My day will come though!!

@TonyQ great pictures, I don’t really have plans to go to India but I would love to visit Kaziranga.

@Dave Williams you need to get yourself to South Africa, plenty of them there. Great exchange rate, excellent food and drink and plenty to keep the OH busy....

I do love a fishing owl @TonyQ

[Galana]

Relatively common they might be but that Brahminy Starling is a stunning photograph.

Like the Blue-bearded BeeEater too. All I got in Kaziranga hardly made an EBC

[lmSA84]

A great collection and some beautiful shots in there - the oriole, starling and Blossom headed Parakeet are real standouts 

[Zim Girl]

Wonderful start with your Indian birds @TonyQ, love the pics of Black necked Stork, Black winged Kite and Brahminy starling.

Great to see your Indian birds Tony, this brings back lovely memories. Particularly love the Stork and the Brahminy Starling also. Hope we are getting a trip report?
