On one of our drives into Bandipur National Park, we spotted this male Shikra next to a waterhole. It should have come by to quench its thirst and gave us a few minutes to get a couple of pictures, before it flew away. The Grey-backed Shrike was an accidental catch. I...

We were on an afternoon safari in Kanha National Park when we saw a Barasingha grazing in a waterhole. I was wondering how would a distress call of a Barasingha sound and enquired with the guide. With the guide describing how the distress call would sound, we drove...

While the first Tiger cub walked away from us, a third Tiger, the last of Noor’s cubs in Ranthambore made his appearance in a nonchalant manner. He walked right along the main road. He came up to a rock by the side of the road right behind our vehicle and scent...

On this afternoon safari in Ranthambore National Park, we decided to go in search of Noor, a popular Tigress. The special interest in this Tigress was because she had four grown up cubs with her that were soon to go their different ways. Noor and her cubs had not been...
