Hi ToughGuy,
Thank you for your kind remarks. I appreciate and welcome your comments.
As we went further down, we could see some more Rosy Starlings.

I really admire your skills and more importantly your patience to capture all these images and sharing them with us... Really Great.
I must do justice by giving a five star rating for this thread...
Wish you good luck...

Thank you Ram! Appreciate your gesture.
BTW, We will be trespassing on your territory pretty soon.
Thank you D.J.D.! Appreciate your comments.
For us locating and sighting wildlife is like hunting.![[:D]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Big%20Smile.gif "Big Smile [:D]")
The difference is, we use cameras instead of guns. And do not harm or disturb the wildlife.
We also saw these Butterflies...

Re: As the wheels roll and the shutters click…Travel reminiscences…
We got tired walking around and decided to get back. And as we started the drive back, we say this one flying around. So we thought why not...
Green Bee-eater...
Got it in a good perch...
couldn't avoid the branch across its face... I would have to move
right to get a clear view, but there was a ditch there...

Excellent pictures again Highway Ranger.
But these are not enough. We do need pictures of landscapes and horizon.
Keep posting

I am traveling to Kerala in a couple of days. Hopefully I can get some landscapes... seascapes/waterscapes more likely. I don't give importance to landscapes now a days. Not much challenge in that.![[;)]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Wink.gif "Wink [;)]")

Purple Sunbird...
Indian Robin... never could get a shot of this bird - always escaping before we can focus

Re: As the wheels roll and the shutters click…Travel reminiscences…
So you know...
This time we had planned to go to Kumarakom and Cochin. We started from Hosur around 4:30 am and stopped for breakfast at our usual place, Shree Saravana Bhavan, past Salem. We had a brief stop at Coimbatore and continued on into Kerala.
Met Ram at Palakad bypass. It was a short meet over coffee. He gave us the updates on the road conditions. Since we wanted to reach Kumarakom before dark we had to leave in a hurry. Hope to have a longer meet next time.
Continued on through Trichur bypass and after Alway, the progross was a bit slow due to the Metro work. At Eddapalli junction we turned off left towards Kumarakon. We had our lunch at Nila restaurant at the junction. The food was good.
We reached Kumarakom around 4:00 pm and settled in the stay. Later we just drove around and found a narrow road that leads to the lake. By then it the sun was setting.
The sunset...
The next day we went for a 4 hour canal cruise in a Shikara.
A boatman starting his engine...
A couple on cruise...
the propeller cuts through the water as the boat makes speed...
Birds, birds, birds... it was birds all the way...
