Birds of the Varanasi River Front – a photo-essay

Sparrows on the wood weighing scale
Sparrows dust-bathing in a boat
A Blue Rock Pigeon drinks of its reflection
A White-throated Kingfisher brightens the clutter
Bank Mynas inspect a priest’s wares
A Bank Myna surveys its domain
Even paradise takes prisoners, like this parakeet
Monkey business as usual – and does the kite qualify as a bird?



All of us at The Green Ogre wish you a very happy 2011, filled with hope for the future of our earth.
