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. This year my camera is 50X zoom Canon camera which also
has a more sensitive CMOS detector; see my Snapshots of the Birds of Tirupati

The birds are arranged (roughly) in order of size
