Swaying on a blade of grass:
Tricoloured munia (Lonchura malacca), earlier known as Black-headed munia.
The plant on which the bird is perched is not a true grass, but a sedge belonging to the genus Cyperus (commonly known as flatsedges or umbrella sedges).
This bird is coming for the first time on my gallery
By the way may I know which of these two photo is more appealing to you 1) close up or 2) habitat

The Wolf,
It said it has no interest in photographers or photographers and started yawning
The Indian Gray Wolf, is species of grass lands in Maharashtra and in some parts of the Indian sub continent.
It currently status is endangered due to loss of habitat.
After a long time posting a photo with aspect of 3:2 though Instagram favours 4:5
What you say, 1) which one of these two photo is appealing you , 2) have you seen wolf in your life 3) if so then in which place

The ghosts who calls
Story behind this photo: I heard call of this bird, many a times, during my birding trips in Himalayas and north east India, but rarely saw it.
Its call is such that, all small and big birds in the vicinity gets alarmed and start hopping from one branch to another accompanied by shrill calls to mob this bird.
This is the smallest owlet in Asia and main threat to it is habitat loss.
Finally, during one of the trips in Himachal Pradesh saw this one which resulted into this photograph
Collared Owlet

The Smiling Pharaoh, what is your opinion?
The Sacred Ibis (Threskiornis aethiopicus)—a wading bird closely related to the black-headed ibis—was deeply revered in ancient Egypt. It was considered the physical embodiment of Thoth, the god of wisdom, writing, mathematics, and the moon.
The photo is of Black Headed Ibis ( Threskiornis melanocephalus)
I thought this may be a unique angle for this bird.
