After being cohesively attached for several years with Indian wildlife and the habitat, it is certainly a very difficult situation to be suddenly away from it. Believe me .this almost feels like snatching away a favorite toy from a child's hands while he is fully engrossed and absorbed with it! Soon after completion of authoring the book "Birds of Western Ghats, Konkan and Malabar" published by BNHS / Oxford - I have been living out of India for last five years due to my professional commitments. By the ...

A Sizzling Summer with the Stripes. As I got off the taxi at London Heathrow airport - the temperature was merely 3 degrees and towards the end of my journey, when I landed on Nagpur airport around midday - it was an extreme 48 degrees - a scorching contrast! For me, this transition was almost like an ice-cube being thrown into fire. But can't still believe - that I survived! A never ending struggle! Coal mines - a confirmed threat for wildlife? For me, this visit wasn't just with a singular aim of photo...

Green lines...: Raining of species in the desert - Kutch

http://saleeltambe.blogspot.com/2008/03/raining-of-species-in-desert-kutch.html

Raining of species in the desert - Kutch. If someone calls a desert just a “dead and dry” place full of only sand ….then must visit Rann of Kutch! There is so much happening every minute in Banni and Naliya grasslands of Kutch that it leaves you astonished and redefines the concept of a desert land! Honestly this can better be experienced than described in words! Later the visit to Thorn forest fetched us with the long awaited sightings of White Naped Tit, White Bellied Minivet which are the specialities...

These areas around the Bamburgh castle are always a pleasure to explore and every time I have been there, I returned with a completely fresh set of images with a totally new perspective and different settings. Another exciting addition on the agenda during this trip was a long awaited visit to "Bass Rock"- the famed habitat of numerous Gannets-the wonderful sea wingsters. Decided to spend some time around a remote junction of sea beach. And freshwater to explore some nesting tern colonies. On the way bac...

Had been on my wish list since long and I was dying to touch this marvel for the past so many years. The blessings of Brahmaputra, the glory of grasslands and the bountiful biodiversity has always enticed me to a great extent! Now after having visited the area in last few weeks - I am completely astonished and wondering - why did I not go there much earlier in my life? About 70 kms before Kaziranaga, I observed the sky to be dotted with hundreds of birds hovering high up. On approaching closer &#8211...

Call of the Canines. Usually when I visit India – I plan separate trips - one for meeting family and friends and others purely for wildlife photography. But this time; due to the time crunch-I had to cut short on my wildlife part of the visit. So, squeezing my equipment with other items in the luggage and juggling with the International baggage into the 15 kgs limit of domestic airlines, I managed to reach Nagpur airport right after my London-Delhi travel.

A Spotted surprise in the Tigerland. For me, this India visit was almost like jumping into an oven! I started from London with a temperature of 8 degree centigrade and when I reached the forested outskirts of Bandhavgarh – it was soaring high 48 degrees! Coming out from the Jabalpur airport gate at 1:45 in the burning afternoon - the drops trickling down from my water bottle spilled over the heated floor and they disappeared instantaneously – quick evaporation. What an Indian summer it has been this year!

Once again .into the wilderness of “Apna-Desh”…. The best bit that I like about every India visit is the day-dreaming that starts a few days prior to the actual date of departure. The very thought of visiting India bubbles up a new cheer and every activity seems to be taking a happier tune. Clocks in the office start ticking faster…the days seems to be passing quicker than before and the calendar page starts appearing smaller! 2 It had rained very heavily in the Kutch and my visit was almost on the verge...
