White breasted Kingfisher in Calcutta
Happy Holi to everyone! I have spent most of this Holi morning trying to shoot a pair of white breasted kingfishers who are making a nest in our garden wall. After a lot of effort and numerous failed shots, I managed to get this photograph. Despite my best efforts, I was not able to shoot both the kingfishers in the same frame. However, as they are nesting here I am sure that I will get many more chances! It is heartening to find that in this concrete jungle that is Calcutta, kingfishers still choose to nest!
