Hi to all at BF!!!

With my friends Surendra, myself in center and Srinivas(right)... on our way to Maredumilli Forest. The timing was wrong but we went anyway, to get an idea of the surroundings and with any luck to spot some wildlife and birds. We were exhausted as the heat and humidity was unbearable. We did not venture too far from the road as we were in deep forest area and threat from leopards, bears was high. We were disappointed overall with our two day stay as we did not spot much wildlife or birds. The few birds we sighted were little ones on tree tops ...trees that were too tall for comfort...hand holding the Sigma 150-600 S was not easy. But in the end I counted nine lifers at the end of our trip....though all were heavily cropped to show the tiny birds!!!
