Raptor -
At Keoladeo ... Bharatpur
Sky remained heavily
overcast ... and there
were drifting columns
of fog ...
... during
our stay in the
National Park ...
... with only a brief
period of faint Sun
on day 2 ... barely
lasting for 2 hours
It rained intermittently
as well ...
All these weather
changes in the northern
plains ... brought in
by heavy snowfall
in Himalayas ...
Birding was still
possible ... but
imaging ... a matter
of sheer desperation ...
Yet ... desperate we
were ...
Focal length used
for this distant
... lightly cropped image of
Raptor merging with
grey ambiance was
642.6 mm ( 35 mm equivalent
is 2000 mm )
