This time when we visited the Mandvi for breeding plumage of wader, We visualized this kind of images. Sometime you have to think little different than normal for some beautiful frame. That was said by many photographer but we are concern more with birds so we focus only on birds, but this time we try little different and we are happy with the result. Tall Greater Flamingo in background look great and result was amazing .
So next time when you are in filed try to do little different.

The red lipstick bird - Sirkeer Malkoha

On that day, we were busy in observing water birds with our binox in a reservoir of dam site within Balaram-Ambaji Wildlife Sanctuary. Suddenly a bird with glossy red bill crosses the road, literally by walking-not flying exactly in front of us.   We both speak in unison… “Oh it is Sirkeer Malkoha!” It disappears swiftly through vegetation running like mongoose. We were little bit depressed because no one’s camera ready at that moment. We missed one more chance to photograph beauty of ‘Lipstick bird’.   We tried to find it for some time then decided to move ahead. While returning we stopped by at same place to look out just in case…! We got luckier this time. We were able to spot well-concealed Sirkeer Malkoha on one of the Prosopis juliflora ( ગાંડો બાવળ) shrub only because it was calling…! It has very attractive hooked bill with bright cherry-red and yellow color. It is a large bird around 40 cm. mainly brown and rufous in colour and having long heavy white tipped tail feathers

It’s our nine-year daughter’s wish to see a tiger in its natural habitat. From last couple of years, we visited Gir WLS in her term end March vacation. Now she wants change… we already saw Lion why don’t we go to see a tiger instead…? She demanded just like that And this is how we ended up to our Ranthambhore adventure….! We drove to Udaipur from Patan on 20 th March’17. We just enjoyed beauty of Lake City of Rajasthan. On next morning 5.30 am, we started our journey Udaipur to Sawai Madhopur. A road of Udaipur to Kota is very smooth six-lane state highway. However, road of Kota to Sawai Madhopur is in very poor condition, boring and tiresome throughout patchy and bumpy. We reached Sawai Madhopur at some time past 12 pm. We booked our room at “Tiger Home” get fresh in hurry, had a quick lunch and rushed to catch the noon safari. Ranthambhore allows safaris in Gypsies and Canters. We are planning to spend three days in Ranthambhore, planning three safaris in all. Ranthambhore has

Nature's Symphony in Amalsad: A Day of Avian Marvels

Amalsad, a true haven for birdwatchers, offered a captivating display of avian life during our visit. At the break of dawn, we witnessed a mesmerizing sight - a cluster of Oriental Turtle-Doves elegantly perched atop the towering trees, their soft cooing harmonizing with the gentle breeze. Venturing into the grasslands, our attention was quickly drawn to the vibrant Red-whiskered Bulbul, its distinctive call resonating across the landscape as it flitted about, seemingly engaged in a ceaseless quest for hidden treasures.  Meanwhile, the Bronze-winged Jacana moved gracefully through the lush grass, herding its fluffy chicks for a foraging adventure. In the midst of this avian panorama, the Black-breasted Weaver family demonstrated their mastery of grassland cuisine, diligently plucking sustenance from the verdant surroundings.  Not far away, a male Greater Painted-Snipe engaged in a solitary pursuit, wading in a small water hole, alongside the graceful Indian Pond Heron. Their harmonious
