PARIA KITE CHICKS.....!!

There was a franatic phone call late into Saturday night by a friend of mine about Paria Kite chicks spotted at low level near Channapattna in a coconut Grove. So Sunday early morning we set off to the place to do some photo shoot ....if nothing else to watch these birds....B'cos generally Kites build nest at very high perching and rarely accessible to humans....

So, it was an opportunity of a life time.. Here are a few pic. of the chicks....I must admit even tho we started early, due to logistics in approacing the place the Summer sun was beating down and lighting was harsh...with strong contrast and shadows.. It was pretty sultry, hot and humid conditions....

At the end we were treated with sumptuous quantity of Tender coconut fresh from the tree...Ah.!! what a relief it was... We were back home by afternoon.
