Paarwali's cubs are well known today as Pedwali, Chhoti Paarwali and Pullwali, not many people know that these three sisters were extremely playful when they were sub-adults, one such winter evening, we were lucky to have sighted all of them playing in front of us for hours, the whole safari all we could do s just picture them right in front of us. This moment we captured when all three started running right towards us crossing the river, it was unbelievable for us.
About Photographer
Wildlife/nature travel has always been a passion which I have only been able to follow lately with multiple visits to our national parks. Tigers are my new found love and sheer size and beauty of the animal makes we want to go to the parks time and again. Just leave me with my binoculars in the park, without my camera, I am equally happy!

|| The Fierceness || Purple Herons are generally of a subtle and calm nature, but the moment they start hunting, their fierce inner core is revealed. The force with which this heron was slamming and tossing this snake was unlike any other. Notice the water being squished out of the snake when it holds it in its beak. This was shot in Mangalajodi in Jan 2023.

Black Shouldered Kite in its unique hovering pose, before jumping for the hunt. Photographed in dry grasslands of Tal Chhapar Black buck Sanctuary. The bird took me by surprise as if planning to pick me up as its prey. Instead i shot the bird first.
Painted Bush Quail against lovely yellow flowers. We went in search of this lovely bird near Lonavala during monsoon 2022. After a lot of search we found this bird moving around in the bushes. There were some bushes with bright yellow flowers. I decided to take a position and wait till the bird came just in front of the flowers. Luckily, the bird did oblige by climbing on a rock in front of the flowers, which created a perfect background for the portrait.
