Indian Fox

The Bengal fox is seen here with a feed, a chicken. The fox has long pointy ears and a bushy tail. The fox as it was feeding allowed us pretty close and that meant that with a 500mm on a D500 it was a little too tight framing. To make the composition work I have not included a small part of the tail in the frame. Apart from birds fox feeds on rodents, reptiles, insects and fruits too. The Indian fox or the Bengal fox is endemic to the Indian subcontinent, it is classified as least concern as per IUCN. The diminishing habitat – grasslands and semi arid plains. This species avoids the forests and area where it is difficult to dig a den. Close

Red-Munia-Male

  A cute sparrow sized bird that is found in the open fields and grass lands across Asia especially near water. The name of the Genus this bird belongs to is derived from the city of Ahmedabad, the capital of Gujarat state in India. The birds mainly feeds on grass seeds. You will easily observe a flock of these birds together and once in a while they do perch around and give you a split second opportunity frame them. The male bird wears the bright red plumage during the breeding time which is usually around the monsoon times. In areas around Bangalore it has been observed to have this plumage during October – November. Another interesting fact is that after the breeding time the beak of the bird changes colors and it becomes black when the summer arrives. These are popular cage birds because of the lovely colorful plumage the male bird has during the breeding season. The male also looks pretty much like the female when not in breeding season.   https://digitalfrescos.comaum/bangalore/red-avadavat/
