MCS on the way




We started our sightings with the lone Yellow-footed Green Pigeon




This White-breasted Waterhen stood on the path and posed for us


<

A Peacock preening itself on the Palm fronds




Rattlepod flowers




We still use bullock carts as forms of transportation




Damselfly on Weddelia flower


<

We saw only seven Blue-tailed Bee-eaters




Juvenile and adult Red-naped (Black) Ibis







Common Picture Wing (Dragonfly)




The shape of the fish that the Purple Heron has just swallowed can be seen in its throat




Very informative signboard




A Robber Fly is so called because it "robs" the life of other insects




Breakfast at Halli Mane (poor menu, poor service, Kasturi Nivas is better)
