Hello Sudhir sir and everyone,

This is an image I captured of a seal in my local river in Cork City, Ireland. It was an overcast Sunday morning, the park had just opened and there was no one around when I stumbled across this seal feeding on salmon. I made sure to keep my shutter speed high enough to freeze the action and find a small…

Its comparatively easy to spot the raptors early in the morning when they are yet to take off for the day. Usually the trees they select for the night are also known to the guides/drivers. It helps.

During my exploration of the grasslands in Saswad, Maharashtra, I had the pleasure of observing a female purple-rumped sunbird. While I was originally searching for Indian foxes, this sighting was certainly a delightful surprise. I tracked the male & the female for about an hour.

When you spot a bird, there’s a sudden rush of awe and curiosity that fills your heart, leaving you captivated by the beauty of nature. This was the case with the Oriental Darter we spotted on the Thekkady lake safari.

A silent, a solitary bird also known for its long slender neck that darts so fast to spear a fish underwater. The long…

This photo was taken at Kanha National Park. I used bean bag when shooting to avoid any hand shakes. Also, an important observation instead clicking few pictures and rushing from the scene we waited for 30-40 mins. That’s when the langurs got comfortable giving better opportunities to click photos.
