It was my first visit to Gulakamale village near Bangalore, and it turned out to be quite uneventful in terms of bird sightings. The lack of cooperative birds was very well compensated by the sightings of small critters and flora that thrive in the monsoon season. Here's a photo tour...
The lake...
Azure damselfly...
White Orange-tip butterfly...
Oriental White-eye...
Common Sailor butterfly...
Egg of a Praying Mantis. The egg is protected by its hard capsule...
Male Ditch Jewel dragonfly...
Male Diplacodes trivialis dragonfly also known as chalky percher or ground skimmer...
Look at its eyes at the tip of the longer tentacles...
