The Last Supper
September 5th, 2006 |
| BR Hills, Karnataka, Aug 2006 These monkeys usually hang around the dining area at BR hills waiting for any food that the guests will throw in. Once the lunch gets over and all the guests have left, these monkeys get back to their daily activities - grooming, playing etc. On this occasion, all of them one-by-one decided to assemble on this rock and cuddle up together. |

Short-toed snake eagle
July 25th, 2006 |
| BR Hills, Karnataka, 16 Jul 2006 While driving, I suddenly found this eagle sitting on an open perch right next to the road. Though he was very close, I could not get a clear shot of him in the open. The two dark vertical lines are trees close to me, through which I could see the bird. This was the first time I’ve photographed this eagle. |
Brown Fish Owl

| BR Hills, Karnataka, 15 Jul 2006 Me and my photographer friend Sudhir were packing up our gear for the night after dinner when we hear this whistle from a nearby tree.

This guy however, went on whistling the whole night. |

| Kudremukh, Karnataka, 9 Jun 2006 We found this bi-colored frog at a stream at Kudremukh. We put him on a rock and photographed him for a while. He tired to jump once, but I put him back on the stone. After that he shifted to Plan B and decided to act dead. and after 5 min he was back up again and tried to jump off. However this time I let him go as I was impressed by his brillant acting. |
