It was heavily raining, I was walking inside a coffee estate at southern India to capture some birds shot. Unfortunately not a single bird sighting was happening, mood was off thinking I have to go empty handed. Suddenly noticed this beauty, it was on top of coffee beans seating like taking care of eggs.

About Photographer
Capturing wildlife is like unleashing oneself's wilderness. WIldlife always gives me a breakthrough from hectic life. It's like a fresh breeze in a calming environment. I feel lucky to capture a wide range of wild's beauties with my camera. Besides my passion, I also take this as my duty to spread awareness regarding the flora and fauna of our environment. Through my photography, I want to send a message to everyone that save the wild or else we will be ruined.
