Litrally we were the first to land at the Birding paradise....to enjoy and photograph the prestine early morning activities of the Birds.
Taking a Boat ride on the flowing Cauvery River...which is dotted with small Islands...Perched are the Birds on the foliage with their Nests and young ones....1 1/2 hours of boat ride yielded some good shots of Birds and their activities....after which the intense Summer Sun light got better of us.
We witnessed and photographed Painted Storks, Large and Intermediate Egrets, Open bill Stork, Spoon Bills, Night Heron, Pond Herons, Darters, Cormorants, River Terns, Pied Kingfishers, Small Blue Kingfisher, White Thorated Kingfisher, Marsh Harriers, Pelicans,Crocodiles and lots of nesting activities...
Kokaree Bellur and Thylur Lake was also on the itinerary...which is near Maddur on the Bangalore-Mysore Highway. Thylur lake was devoid of Birds except for Coots...But Kokaree Bellur was Brimming with Painted Storks and its young ones...It was odd time to photograph b'cos of the high point of the Sun and harsh lighting...
Equipment with right specifications are necessary to reach the birds....to do some serious photography...
BEING THERE BEFORE THE CACAPHOY OF THE TOURIST IS THE KEY ISSUE...
Entry is 25/- Boat ride for 1/2 hour is 250/- and camera ticket is 50/-.
