it is quite a common sight to see cattle and cranes or Common Egrets together on open farms and in wild. this is majorly because the little Egrets feast on the insects bothering the cows or buffaloes on their skin, benefitting both. They also follow around the cattle on foot like here, as the cattle shake up the undergrowth when they move and plentiful insect bounty is up for grabs there! what is amazing is that the cattle, the comparative giants in this codependent ecology, understand and let the Egrets ride and peck at their skins on occasion, with no resistance, even though there ain't much they could do when the bird sits on the jump but in moments like this, it is clear that they are welcome indeed! ~A.J. . #hymnofhues . #shotonsony with #sony200600mm lens @ 1/3200 & ISO6400, f13.0 #shotonsonyalpha #sonya7siii #sonyalpha7siii . . #commonegret #egretsofinstagram #birdsofindia #birdsofig #birdphotography #birdsofinstagram #birdshots #birdsofhyderabad #birdphotographersofindia #bird_brilliance #birdphotographyworld . #_soi #lpmiphotochallenge #natgeoindia #snapseedindia #bbcearth #bbcwildlife #lightroom #natgeoyourshot #natgeophotography #natgeomoments #natureinfocus #sonybbcearth #natgeoyourlens (at Hyderabad) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXi0nfbpMSg/?utm_medium=tumblr

take my hand, follow me into the trenches, swaying upside down, as they hung, where the moon had sung of the birdies that slept & of the hearts they wept, for though their wings lay untethered, bound they were, to their feathers fatefully different, each, to the other, nether. 🖤 ~A.J. . a drongo and a sparrow share some best seats for this rising winter moon. . #HymnOfHues . #shotonsony with #sony200600mm lens @ ISO4000 & 3200, f5.6. #shotonsonyalpha #sonya7siii #sonyalpha7siii . #BlackDrongo #oldworldsparrow . #snapseedindia #natgeoindia #natgeoyourshot #bbcearth #natgeo #natgeomoments #bbcwildlife #natgeoindia #lightroom #natgeoasia #bbcearth #sonybbcearth #natgeoyourlens . #_soi #storiesofindia . #lonelyplanet #CNTravellerIndia #outlooktraveller #lonelyplanet #natureinfocus . #landscapephotography #landscaping #landscapephotographymagazine . #farmphotography #streetphotographyindia (at Hyderabad) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXdtEbYJAKG/?utm_medium=tumblr

one of the silent joys of spending weekends chasing birds around rural Hyderabad is finding culture, people, farming, and socialization sprout from common roots, diversifying in each generation, crossing paths again, village to village 🖤 loving how the sunset brings out the earthen hue atop farmlands here. also, I lifted this screenshot from a short clip I made for my blog on @theinkeddreams bio. go check it out! ~A.J. . #HymnOfHues . #shotonsony with #sony200600mm lens @ ISO4000 & 3200, f5.6. #shotonsonyalpha #sonya7siii #sonyalpha7siii . #snapseedindia #natgeoindia #natgeoyourshot #bbcearth #natgeo #natgeomoments #bbcwildlife #natgeoindia #lightroom #natgeoasia #bbcearth #sonybbcearth #natgeoyourlens . #_soi #storiesofindia . #lonelyplanet #CNTravellerIndia #outlooktraveller #lonelyplanet #natureinfocus . #landscapephotography #landscaping #landscapesofindia #incredibleindia #landscapephotographymagazine . #farmphotography #streetphotographyindia (at Hyderabad) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXJax9HvKoy/?utm_medium=tumblr

poser 😂 Male Indian Robin it was only by chance that I got this shot. I sat under that very farm pipe, cloaked in the rusty earth and pumpset, trying to dupe baby babblers into focus and I got so many satisfying hits on Drongos, kingfishers, Ibises, cranes, lapwings, cormorants and even sparrows but this guy took over the spot as soon as I moved to a different hide 😂 This happened twice and the second time I deliberately tried to get him into this place by moving far enough and it worked for this shot! ~A.J. . . #hymnofhues . #shotonsony with #sony200600mm lens @ 1/4000 & ISO8000, f18.0 #shotonsonyalpha #sonya7siii #sonyalpha7siii . . #indianrobin #robins #birdsofindia #birdsofig #birdphotography #birdsofinstagram #birdshots #birdsofhyderabad #birdphotographersofindia #bird_brilliance #birdphotographyworld . #_soi #lpmiphotochallenge #natgeoindia #snapseedindia #bbcearth #bbcwildlife #lightroom #natgeoyourshot #natgeophotography #natgeomoments #natureinfocus #sonybbcearth #natgeoyourlens (at Hyderabad) https://www.instagram.com/p/CW-845BJuel/?utm_medium=tumblr

a Telangana farmer paddling between the fields he works, with his one of his furry friends on a make-shift paddleboard, midday, in September of this year. The unexpected rainfall brought a nearby lake greeting to their farmlands but since it was natural, they were already prepared and I could tell this happened a lot too, as the puppy was very comfortable aboard the raft, even looking at fishies and reflections😂 ~A.J. . #HymnOfHues . #shotonsony with #sony200600mm lens @ 1/4000 & ISO640, f5.6. #shotonsonyalpha #sonya7siii #sonyalpha7siii . #snapseedindia #natgeoindia #natgeoyourshot #bbcearth #natgeo #natgeomoments #bbcwildlife #natgeoindia #lightroom #natgeoasia #bbcearth #sonybbcearth #natgeoyourlens . #_soi . #lonelyplanet #CNTravellerIndia #outlooktraveller #lonelyplanet #natureinfocus . #landscapephotography #landscaping #landscapesofindia #incredibleindia #landscapephotographymagazine . #farmphotography #telanganatourism #dogsinstagram (at Nh 163) https://www.instagram.com/p/CW0eyNvpW3j/?utm_medium=tumblr

Probably the only historical monument in India that's named after it's architect: Ramappa 🖤 The detail and craftsmanship from this 1213 CE built structure still maintains its grandeur and flair! and with robins, chats, kingfishers and rollers all around, it's a peaceful half-day visit from Hyderabad ~A.J. . #HymnOfHues . #shotonsony with #tamron28200 lens @ 1/1000 & ISO800, f8.0. #shotonsonyalpha #sonya7siii #sonyalpha7siii #monumentphotography #worldheritagesite #ramappatemple . . #snapseedindia #natgeoindia #natgeoyourshot #bbcearth #natgeo #natgeomoments #bbcwildlife #natgeoindia #lightroom #natgeoasia #bbcearth #sonybbcearth #natgeoyourlens . #_soi . #lonelyplanet #CNTravellerIndia #outlooktraveller #lonelyplanet #natureinfocus . #landscapephotography #landscaping #landscapesofindia #incredibleindia #landscapephotographymagazine (at Ramappa Temple) https://www.instagram.com/p/CV2-BKCPUhr/?utm_medium=tumblr
