Birds from the concrete jungle of Ahmedabad.
While dust storms caused trouble in Northern India, I was enduring the heat in Ahmedabad at my brother-in-law's place in Bopal. While I was there I did record a number of birds over a period of three weeks. Appreciate the snaps and the variety I managed to snap while there.
