Every year around 2000 Painted Storks and 500 Spot-Billed Pelicans come to Kokkare Bellur for breeding. Nobody in the village has a definite answer for, when these birds started coming in their village for nesting. Most of the people say these birds were here before they are born.
Sulekere, Malavallikere, Gurudevanakere and Shimsha river are the main feeding grounds for pelicans and Painted Storks at Kokkare Bellur. Eventhough these birds get the protection in the village, the insensitive sand mining in the river pose a real threat to it's long term survival and to the unique status of this village as a breeding ground.
I used continuous focus and continuous shot for getting this bird about to land on a tree top. See the angle of attack, the position of tail and webbed feet, extended and spread, all for creating high lift and drag.
