Alright, friends, let's rewind the clock to 2023!
I took my camera on a wild ride through Bangalore's birdwatching spots and a few out of town family trips, bagging some lifers and creating lots of pleasant memories.
Sorting through the photo chaos was absolute madness, but I cherry-picked some without diving too deep. Join me in this visual recap.
~~~
A misty January with dewdrops and cute migratory birds.
~~~
Spotted some interesting birds during early morning walks with my wife in February.
~~~
March brought more migratory birds and beautiful sunrises.
~~~
Took a road trip in April, discovering the allure of ancient temples.
~~~
In May, scored some lifers during a family trip to a hill station.
~~~
Enjoyed some delightful bird actions in June.
~~~
In July, my lifer count grew as I and the birds exchanged curious glances.
~~~
In August, I encountered more lifers and took clichéd shots on an out of town trip with my wife.
~~~
September was all about capturing action-packed bird shots.
~~~
October unveiled foggy landscapes, fascinating birding, and buttering moments.
~~~
In November, went on an out of town trip with my wife, discovering abundant wildlife and spotting some new lifers.
December was a delight for bird sightings, and another out of town journey added to the joy. Loads of photos are waiting to be downloaded, and it looks like the excitement will spill over into next year.
Sending my heartfelt thanks for your visits to my blog in the past year. Looking forward to your continued support in the upcoming year. Wishing you and your loved ones a joyous 2024!

The best photos are of you and your wife at sunset! They are gorgeous! It's hard to choose a favorite bird but I love that bat and the owls. I think those colorful birds in the water are Ibis and I love them too. Happy New year my friend!
ReplyDelete...Shiju, you had a fabulous journey throught 2023 and I appreciate you taking me along to see the sights. I wish you a Healthy and Happy New Year. Where are we going next?
ReplyDeleteYour recap is magnificent, an absolute work of art. Fit for a book. I remember many of these ... the capture that feels particularly joyful is the one of your son and wife immersed in the drops.

What a beautiful collection of photos from the year. I know it can be hard to select which ones to present for an end-of-year post. I love all the birds and other critters, but I must also highlight that one towards the beginning that features water droplets on a spider web. That was spectacular!
