27. Birdwatching around Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve




In the previous post I have put up pictures of all the birds we saw inside the Reserve Forest, but on the third day we decided to look around in the vicinity of the Resort, alongside a huge lake, and discovered a fair number of birds specially grassland birds which  we don’t get to see normally. These birds are small and blend in so well with their surroundings that it is really difficult to capture them on camera.  I am pleased with the few I did manage to get but rue the ones I could just barely see flitting around.

This Little Egret came early in the morning on the lawn in front of our room and stayed busy eating crickets and some exotic insects like the one below till late in the evening. Amazing appetite!
