Scarlet Minivet - Pericrocotus flammeus - Kosgama, Sri Lanka.

I took these pictures using my Fuji HS 250 using near the maximum end of the 30X built into the camera. It was a hand-held shot aimed at a branch of a very high tree. The bird was very small and was quite agile.

Great Egret - Casmerodius albus

Picture taken in the moat between the Batticaloa Fort and the old Rest-House. The water was drying up and the fish in the rapidly drying up water was easy prey for the birds, as seen in the video below.
