Swallow at Berijam
Category: Birds 'n Animals

We stayed at a forest department camp site near Berijam lake, on first evening of our Kodai Munnar trek. The bird life here was amazing and we were out for a walk around the lake on next day morning.

We spotted a group of swallows, right outside the building we stayed in - I guess this particular one is a Pacific Swallow. I had the Canon EF 400mm f/5.6L mounted on my EOS 7D, set in Av mode, f/6.3 and auto-ISO. This particular picture came at ISO-100 and 1/640s.

Another picture of a different bird from the same group, using the same settings - this time, the camera picked up a 1/640s, ISO-200 exposure.

Lovely images of the swallow! The blue color of the building somehow does not blend with the beauty of the bird.

Nice captures Sandeep. Can you let me know more about the teek? From where do you get the permission?

Lovely bird. Very nice shot. The blue wall is adding a very nice contrast
