This is a Yellow-billed Babbler. He is no doubt looking cranky because, he enjoys a good chat with his friends as much as the next guy, but it's nothing compared to the constant shrieking of the Peafowl or the brain-piercing frequencies that the common Myna are constantly letting loose with.

A Little Cormorant who did not appreciate me intruding into his private space,

Lion Rock in Sigiriya, Sri Lanka. I waited as long as I dared to get a sunset picture and then snapped and ran. Apparently elephants sometimes run around at night and don't always notice those little squishy humans in their path.
