I was in Bangalore over the weekened with a relative with no camera and , zero thoughts of birds. But, luck was on my side and to my pleasant surprise, his balcony juts into a huge old Indian banyan tree. And , to top it all, the banyan tree was fruiting ! Oh maaan, the amount of bird chirps in the morning was something to hear. Lots and lots of birding from the balcony itself ! I made do with a borrowed Nikon D7000 and a 70-300VR .
Happiness is …..birds, camera and having chai (tea) and dosai while shooting from the balcony !!!! 
Here is that awesome tree.

The trees were full of mostly Mynas. We saw Koels, parakeets, Barbets and a Golden Oriole.

Oh and another thing. By mistake I shot the whole morning in AF-A mode. One word, AF-A sucks for such situations ….wish I had noticed and changed to AF-C !
