Another great set of images Harsha. You have a very nice shot of a Pied Kingfisher on your website as well. It would be hard for me to pick out a favorite here. Not sure what the first Eagle is. Feathers don't seem to come all the way down the leg and the head is shaped differently than the Tawny. The Saddlebill is a female and it looks sort of like a dragonfly just ahead of her.

I see you are a cyclist too which is also one my hobbies. I will be photographing the Team time trials at the Tour De Georgia in April. What do you ride?

Very nice. I really like the pose of the crowned crane you captured in #2. We saw quite a few crowned cranes, but they were usually too busy eating to do much strutting.

Fantastic detail and closeness. Great set of exotic birds.

What did that lark just consume?

I am pretty sure the mystery bird is an immature Bateleur Eagle. The is a close-up immage on Wikepedia that shows detail of the bill and face that very closely match your bird.
Can you offer tips of who you went with, equipment to take etc? We went two years ago, I took a Nikon 8800, got interested in photography after I came back and now would like to go back with a Canon 30D (which I own) and a 500 F4 (which I don't). What technique did you use for your bird shots??
