YAWN OF A DESERT CAT, GREATER RANN OF KUTCH, GUJARATH..!!

Wild life enthusiasts and photographers can trade anything to get the glimpse of DESERT CAT. Such is the rarity of the sighting of this magnificent mammal which is on the endangered list.

I was fortunate and lucky to have spent at least 2 hours with this family & some 600 frames from mid afternoon to Sunset when they said goodbye to us and went into their den  in the wilderness of the desert at Greater Rann of Kutch, Gujarath.

Oh boy did i have a great sighting...Yes...!! my most memorable wildlife moment yet...!!

SET-WET GREY HERON..!!

What else to do if the weather is not favorable to you... Early morning drizzle had soaked this Grey Heron to its bones. Shrugging off will not help as the drizzle refreshed water on its feathers. This Heron decided to tuck its long neck and turn towards Sun for it to shine...and dry out.

PURPLE SWAMPHEN..!!

It rained the entire night on Friday and was drizzle towards Saturday morning. Woke up and looked thro the window & decided to head out seen what photographic opportunity I get in this over cast-drizzle weather.

Irrespective of the weather the life cycle goes on. Here is the Image of the PURPLE SWAMPHEN going around its business scavenging for food.

Over cast sky provides sub-due lighting but, increases the exposure time & reduced shutter speed. All the more to be careful while doing hand-held shoots.
