Oriental Magpie Robin! This bird stood quite still for this portrait! Other birds were more elusive. I joined a group for the contest to see how many birds could be seen in 1 hour. I added the Orange-headed Thrush and Black-naped Oriole to my life list bringing it up to 324 species! I also recorded 13 other species, of which my favorite is the Rose-ringed Parakeet photographed below.

HAPPY EASTER!
I PHOTOGRAPHED THIS TIA PAKI (Bangla name) at Block D, Lalmatia, Dhaka! Different times this bird showed up and I was without my 70-300 Canon IS lens. I used auto focus and when looking at the photos, I wondered if I would have gotten a sharper image with manual focus! So it goes. I saw an ad which showed the price of this bird at 5,00o taka (62.50 USD).
