Commonwealth Bird Games

Lakshmi Sharath with another set of Kingfisher photographs, birding in Hampi. See this wonderful post for more such photos.

I combined two of the photos after I realized that the birds showed a lot of attitude and character and were trying to say something.

As below :

Alert,

the
PiedKingfisher pair
always on duty,
looking around,
proudly
manages
the security
at the Commonwealth Bird Games
Hampi,

On duty
at the
Commonwealth Bird Tree Walls
watching
the
Common Kingfisher
athlete birds
participate
in the "Insect throws",
"Wing flaps",

This lone athlete

seems to have lost its way....

had no money
for tree signs
to Matangi Hills....

The final with the
yellow throated bulbul
