As we were exiting the Kabini Backwaters during one of our evening safari’s there, we spotted this huge tusker that was foraging among the woods. He stopped to take notice of us, giving us an opportunity to observe his massive tusks. The sighting of this tusker...

During one of our evening game drive in Maasai Mara, we had a chance sighting of a Steppe Eagle. It was equally surprised to see us at such close distance, before it flew away. Given that this visit to Mara was many months after the Annual Migration was over, the...

We woke up to this beautiful view in Coorg Wilderness Resort. We just sat there sipping coffee and taking in this gorgeous ambience. As the fog started to clear up, the avian species made a pitstop on one of the main perches on the canopy. I patiently waited and...

After the amazing sighting of the sub-adult Tigers at one far end of Bandhavgarh National Park, we headed back in the direction of the park gates while on the lookout for more wildlife. As we passed a man-made water saucer adjacent to the road, one of the last...

We were on an evening safari in Kabini backwaters and were passing through an area, when we got the stench of an old carcass. And soon enough we spotted a Red-headed Vulture – one of the prime scavengers of the Indian forests. We caught a couple of pictures...

The catch of the day at Coorg Wilderness Resort was the Black-lored Yellow Tit, simply because of the amazing picture that I got as it took flight. I first heard the noisy bird before I caught it with my camera. It’s such a small bird and also pretty skittish. I...

On this safari in Bandhavgarh National Park, we headed off to a different area, since we heard that sub-adult cubs of another Tigress were spotted on the previous drive. We drove all over the area, but we could not find the cubs. Then one of the cubs came into a...

We were on a morning safari in Kabini and we stopped by to get a picture of an Asiatic Elephant with huge tusks. We first spotted him when he was following a herd of females. Then when he stopped, we got a couple of portrait pictures of him, before we headed off. We...
