This is an Asoka tree that is extremely popular with photographers! For a first time there, I was surprised to count 6 large lenses targeting a the feeding birds! and this was on a week day morning... While patiently waiting for the sunbirds to perform, I was wondering about the ratio of photographers to birds during the week-ends!
