| Most of these birds I have taken previously but i have put them here as they represent so much of my time walking around Tirupati. Some are better than previous because of my new 35x zoom camera which also has a more sensitive CMOS detector; see my Snapshots of the Birds of Tirupati The new birds are at the beginning |
