Birds of TelanganaI am Sriram Reddy, a wildlife photographer hailing from Hyderabad, Telangana. With my camera, I strive to capture the breathtaking beauty and natural behavior of animals in their wild habitat. I believe that nature is an invaluable source of inspiration and knowledge, and I constantly work to enhance my photography skills as a means of expressing and sharing the wonders of the natural world.
My passion for wildlife photography is particularly focused on birds, as I find them to be both captivating and challenging subjects. I constantly push myself to improve my technique and capture even more stunning images of these feathered creatures.
My dedication to this craft has taken me to 19 different states in India, where I have documented over 1050 species of birds. I intend to use this platform as a means of showcasing the incredible diversity of wildlife that I encountered, organizing my photographs into various categories to highlight the unique qualities of each organism.
India is a country that has a rich and diverse avifauna, with more than 1300 species of birds recorded, of which about 100 are endemic. India’s birds belong to 23 orders and 86 families, and they range from tiny hummingbirds to majestic eagles. India’s birds are found in various habitats, such as forests, grasslands, wetlands, deserts, mountains and coasts.

“No habitat specialisation” applies to generalist species that use a wide range of habitats rather than depending on a single type, allowing them to adapt to disturbed or human‑modified landscapes and remain relatively widespread and resilient.
Scrub birds are species that use low, dense, shrubby vegetation, thickets, and scrubby edges for feeding, nesting, or shelter, often moving close to the ground and relying on cover rather than open habitats like grasslands or wetlands.
Grassland birds are species that depend on open grassy habitats with few trees or shrubs, using these areas for nesting, feeding, and displaying, and are sensitive to loss or fragmentation of natural grasslands
Woodland birds are species that depend on tree-dominated habitats such as forests, groves, and wooded edges, using the mix of canopy, shrubs, and ground layer for feeding, nesting, and shelter throughout their life cycle.
Wetland birds are species that rely on marshes, swamps, flooded fields, rivers, lakes, and other waterlogged habitats for feeding, nesting, and resting, often needing shallow water and emergent vegetation throughout their life cycle.
