African Safari Series - I

Take a look at some of the snaps taken during the Trip .....


The lake side view from the resort






Two bulbuls pecking away into a ripe papaya





Would you believe if I say that this is a descendent of the swan that modelled for Raja Ravi Varma ..for his painting Damayanti


Who said pink is not vibrant?




A view at the bujagali falls, a few miles from the source of river nile


A hadada Ibis




An egret atanding guard to it's chicks



A flower bell?



Oh!! ...how I envy that neck...



A cattle egret (with the orange buff on it's head) and a little egret volunteered to pose for me (Picture taken at Samuka island).


A crying commorant



The furry egret looks graceful ...




A pied kingfisher. It hovers in the air for a few minutes and nose-dives on spottting a fish





Little yellow beauty


more follows .....

Wonderful pics. Are you a bird-watcher? Because I've seen you are very precise with the bird species there, and I am honestly surprised. I haden't come across anyone who had recongized the cattle egrets, the pied kingfishers(I couldn;t recognize that bird), with accuracy, What speices is the last one? Wonderful photos!
