Though Delhi-NCR is highly polluted but the area is green as well and one finds many opportunities to test your skills with a camera. There are still some brave species which have been able to survive and adjust themselves in this highly polluted green cover. I have been able to capture few and am sharing with you all.
Cuckoo is a very common bird found in India and very active in summers. Read more here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koel
Sunbird is a small bird (weighing 5 grams to 45 grams) which mainly feed on nectar. In Delhi-NCR they are very active from September till winters when bottle brush and other plans start flowering. There are many variety of Sunbirds. Read More Here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunbird .
Shikra is a small bird of prey. It is very common in Delhi-NCR. Read more about Shikra here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shikra
Never forget to enjoy nature. Its all around you…….

Nice capture of birds. I amazed how did you manage to take photos of cuckoo! Cuckoo is common but capturing it through the lens is very difficult.
