Waiting in line



Definitely more orderly than we Indians at a bus stop! Mr Ramanan from MNS  snapped this terrific moment on a hot dusty afternoon at our Chikladhara resort, on the recent Melghat trip.  The apt title was also his.

The leaky tap proved a delight for us birdwatchers as there were several visiting dignitaries - these red vented bulbuls, yellow-throated sparrows, spotted doves and more.

The red vented bulbuls I am well acquainted with, as they frequent the trees around our apartment in Madras, but I never tire of them. They have a lovely, chirpy musical call, striking colouration and an alert, intelligent look about them, all beautifully captured in this photo.

Check out Mr Ramanan's other photos here.

  1. How very accurate you are about the queue at the bus stop! You can also tell them about the email about permission for photo usage.

  2. This picture brought a smile to my face. Yes, our behaviour at bus-stops and any type of queue is appalling indeed - have been pushed and shoved (and have even fallen down!) enough that I'll never forget it!
    Enjoying this series very much.
