Vedanthangal Bird Sanctuary, southern India. 04 Dec 2008
I have a personal jinx with that place. I can count upto five opportunities over the last two years that I've had to visit, and have had to cancel in the last minute.
Its only worth visiting at this time of the year. This is also the happening time for me in Madras, what with exams, kutcheris, NRI visitors, weddings, reunions ...and of course work deadlines. Excuses, excuses, you say, and I have to agree.
Sigh! Anyways, until I visit Charlie's report should more than suffice!
PS: There's another great post on Pond Herons as well from Charlie. He describes the confusion between the flying white bird and the sitting brown bird rather well!!
Update: Some photos from the MNS trip
Thanks for the link - I thoroughly enjoyed reading Charlie's account.
ReplyDeleteHopefully you will have better luck next year re: visiting Vedanthangal.
Thanks Kamini! Maybe we should go together?! Your luck may break my jinx!
ReplyDeleteHi Flowergirl, thanks for the link and the lovely comments! You know I asked you where your blog had gone? It's because in your email signature the address given is http://madraswander.blogspot.com/ and not http://madraswanderer.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteAll the best for 2009

ReplyDeleteNice post. I really liked your pictures. Thanks for sharing. The land of Taj Mahal and aromatic spices, an exciting blend of colours and cultures, a melange of arts and a sanctuary of technology, and richly flavoured to the very last drop, India holds out millions of mysteries for the curious traveller. Come, find your own adventure! Check out all bird sanctuaries in India also.
