Birds in flight Mount Abu

I am fascinated when I see birds in flight. Over the years, I have been honing my skills in trying to trap them in the lens of my cameras. Getting that perfect shot takes a ton of patience and sometimes hours or even days to obtain a particular bird. Tiny bird in flight needs great endurance and patience, getting that perfect shot can lead to frustration and disappointments on many an occasion. Anyway, I’m like the provable hunter never ready to abandon. Enjoy my collection of flying birds for the past month or so. Happy viewing.
