I found this Yellow-billed Babbler (Turdoides affinis) searching for insects in the dried undergrowth. Shot using Canon EOS 5D mark II with Canon EF 400mm f/5.6 L USM at around 3 meters from camera. That was the closest I can focus with 400mm lens 😉
I have not seen them in Karkala! Only in Manipal I had seen few of them, This is at Bajpe… are they found in Moodabidri?
Shiva,
I have not seen it in Moodabidri only in Mangalore. What I see here is jungle babblers.

You have captured very sharp details Krish! Though I have clicked many images here in Manipal, I couldn’t manage to capture like this!!
Can you also provide Kannada names of the birds?
