Saturday, April 24, 2010. Chail - A Photo Feature. Chail, in Himachal Pradesh once served as the summer capital of the state of Patiala. It is situated at an altitude of 2250m above sea level and is higher than Shimla. Chail is surrounded by forests of chir pine and deodars. The hills overlook the Sutlej valley. Shimla and Kasauli can be seen from here at night. The Palace has lush green spacious lawns. It is easily one of the best places to stay if you are looking to spend a night in Chail. I remember r...

Saturday, November 20, 2010. The Falcon Visits, Again. After spending an evening with the Shaheen Falcon. I was craving for another sighting. And better images. My wish came true! Wednesday, the 17th of November was a holiday for Eid. At around 1 PM, I was scanning the building as usual and noticed the Falcon perched just two floors below, on a pipe again. A small boy playing in a balcony close by kept the bird occupied and it watched him with interest. Flying around caught its attention and it traced it...

Thursday, April 21, 2011. A sleepless night. Departure at 3.15AM. The highway mostly empty, except for huge trucks. Brightly lit up toll booths. Fleeting lights from villages and towns. 120 kmph on the speedometer. Trance and house music to keep up with the momentum. A well-laid out NH4. The journey to Ganeshgudi had only begun. Cotton Pygmy Goose - Male (L) and Female (R). A Crested Serpent Eagle hovered over the fields by the highway. Surrounded by a thick moist deciduous forest, it is located on the L...

Wednesday, October 27, 2010. A birding trip on the Sunday of 3rd October didn't prove to be very fruitful thanks to an overcast sky. I returned with just an image of a Pied Cuckoo, ranting over how the birds weren't kind to me that day. How wrong I was! A quick look through the bird book and I knew it could either be a Peregrine/Shaheen Falcon. Or an Oriental Hobby. When I described the bird's colors to a friend, he said it could be a Shaheen Falcon. Though there was a stronger possibility of the bir...

South Indian Blue Oakleaf. September 6, 2013. South Indian Blue Oakleaf. The South Indian Blue Oakleaf. Butterfly which looks like a leaf. Its master camouflage is given away by the bright blue color on the upper side when it is flying. The South Indian Blue Oakleaf does show territorial behavior. This one was driving away other butterflies which passed by. Blue between the wings. This series of photos were clicked at Someshwara, Karnataka, India on photography tour conducted by Darter.
