Spring-Summer - 275

Spring-Summer - 275 (Anhinga melanogaster)

Spring-Summer - 275 ...

If romance is the
seasoning ...
territorial disputes
are ... the spice
of the spring ...

... as is evident from
this image of
Oriental Darters
sabering it out ...

Our local help ...
Bhagat Singh had an
interesting anecdote
to narrate ...
when we shot this
image ...

... about two weeks
ago ... a visitor came to
Keoladeo to shoot the
the territorial fight
of Anhingas ... he
sat patiently at this
location on five
successive days ...
... extended his stay
for five more days
in the NP ...
... still without luck
... had to go back
empty-handed ...

And ... we could
do so twice ... in
a casual observation
of half an hour ...

That indeed is some
serendipity ...

Watch the joust in
a video-clip ...
