Two months back, I had been to Hoskote lake in Bangalore on a rainy day and had written a blog post titled - Rainy day birding. That was one difficult nature walk where I had to squish noisily through mud and mire. Last Sunday, I revisited the place to find most of the walking trails submerged as there were more rains. Here's a photo tour of what little I could salvage from the quagmire...
Here's a panorama of Hoskote lake and its surroundings. Click or tap to navigate the 360° view...
The morning was misty...
I could see the silhouette of a Greater Coucal...
More mist...
A female Asian Koel...

That mist thought <3 I love misty mornings (and afternoons and evenings, for that matter), they give me feeling I can't quite describe... Cozy, wintry, peaceful... nope, still not doing justice.
ReplyDeleteSuch mornings are getting rarer these days in Bangalore :/

Hi. I was going through your blogs. Great shots. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOne correction to this blog. The flying birds labeled as Painted Storks are in fact Black-headed Ibis.
Regards.
Arnab.
Thank you Arnab for letting me know of the error. Much appreciated! I have corrected the same.
