Clicked at Bhangarh, Rajasthan last year.

Lovely captures, nkghai - and certainly one for the archives! Just proves that old adage - that all babies (apart from scorpions,centipedes & spiders!) are irresistible.

Thanks a ton Shashanka.
I am actually trying to capture a complete cycle from nest building, laying of eggs, hatching, growing up and flying away of two Pond Heron couples. Lets see if i get good photographs and can share the sequence with all.
It is fascinating to be with these beauties every day.

That's a great target to have set oneself - and I hope you succeed. I shall certainly be looking forward to the photo record of the sequence!

All Birders here,

Would any of you have a pic of a stork standing in water, with one leg folded ?

Else, in flight.

Need pics for a specific use and I will share details.

TIA !

Another one for my archives, Nilanjanji,

with due credit of course! The photo of the tar road takes you into the happier, misty world of childhood nostalgia - where has it all gone! The more remote areas of the Allahabad of my childhood had such roads, meandering through guava orchards, where we - having bunked school - had countless escapes from the khatiks guarding the guavas from rascals like us.

Those meandering roads are part of the cringe-inducing concrete jungle of state-of-the-art Allahabad today. Gone are much of the orchards & the priceless ambiance that they evoked. Thank you once again for that nostalgia trip.

A couple of clicks from Sunday.
Egret and Pond Heron, my favorites to learn clicking.

I try and take such meandering roads through nowhere whenever I can safely do so. Whether during my weekend drives or x000 km roadtrips to Central India or the Himalayas.

A shortcut from Kisli to Baihar in the night through a forest trail (I have a 4x4 so it was ok). Or one through Kuno Palpur Sanctuary. Or one through Sitabani and Powalgarh reserve forests. Or a broken trail through the outskirts of Satpura NP (that was a silly decision, lost 3 hours and reached the forest rest house exhausted and in the dark).

If I drive up North (might, gettibg restless) and pass through Lucknow, will ping you to see if we can catch up over a coffee. There is this photo tour in Dudhwa in Nov, I might drive down from Bangalore.

An attempt at wedding photography

A kite in flight !

That would make my day - catching up over a cup of coffee with the Nilanjan Ray! I'll certainly be here in Lucknow (at least till the 21st of this month) and shall look forward to your buzz!

Another splendid capture, M35! You guys are giving me the inferiority complex of a lifetime!

Great :)

I like the last two, very nice

Sharp shot!

Happy Ganesh Chathurthi to all! Silver Ganesh idol with Nikon D610 and 50mmf/1.8D and granite top and wide aperture for shallow depth. White Tiger shot in Singapore Zoo, Nikon D610 and Tamron 70-300mm telephoto lens.

Lovely eye contact !

Another BIF, but this time Bee In Flight !
