Photographing Birds in the TREE OF FIRE - Welcome to my Mumbai Rooftop

Every year, when the Mumbai summer is at its peak, the trees that caress my rooftop turn into a paradise for several species of urban birds. It's the time of the year, just before the monsoons, when the Gulmohar and African Tulip trees bare vibrant, flowers. These fiery blooms are a bird photographer's delight, adding the choicest of nature's hues into the composition.

    Before I travel to Tadoba National Park to film my second Tiger series, I wanted to bring you a little slice of nature. Every summer, the Gulmohar and African Tulip trees that caress my Mumbai rooftop, bare vibrant floral blooms. The flowers are an absolute delight for bird photography with the colour contrast that thy render. Here's celebrating a small fraction of our urban ecosystems.

    The cute birds who love to co-exist with us. They have tiny claws to clamp the thin branches of the trees, they depend on the flowers for water and food, they never disturb anyone and always heal us by their sweets notes and soothing colours. And in reply, we just make them homeless and away from us by felling trees more and more and tell them to get out. Isn't it really planned murder?
