Besides the Great Hornbill, theres the Malayan Night Heron (One of the rarest birds in India) that eludes me for a decent photograph. All birds elude me, but due to their abundance and my doggedness I manage to get their pictures. Not with this bird. This bird possibly migrates from Sri Lanka to the Western Ghats for breeding in May and returns back by August. Very less is known and researched about this bird. I have been trying to get decent pictures for the last 4 years but to no avail. It gives me a window of not more than four seconds to photograph and sees me at the same time I see it. In the four years I can safely say I know its habitat, its behaviour, its food, and possibly predict it. But I just cant get a decent picture :-(. Heres one in the thicket after the bird walked away on seeing me.

Guided Bird & Photography Trips in Goa
birding.avocet-peregrine.com

Night Bird Photography with us gets exciting when you need to unlearn all photography tricks you know, learn new techniques, understand your camera and lens, get proper lighting (without invoking your camera flash), protect yourself from the vipers (specially the saw-scaled), try to locate the bird and yet get that image that has the trademark background, bokeh, contrast, open perch, noise-free image and details of even the bird's whiskers!.
All this is worth the outcome of a brand new experience!
... and yet we walk away after this, leaving the bird still on its perch......
