Greetings on World Environment Day

A Video LinK: https://youtu.be/J90Ds61S7bQ

After 69 Days, I get my Fundamental Right (partially) back to freely
decide to ‘get out of house’ and also ‘move where I like’ (again
partially) but within the Law Mandated limits.

It was, therefore, a GREAT feeling to get behind the Wheel, feel
like floating and then getting 'One with Nature’.

As World Environment Day - 5th June - dawned, I headed to my

current favourite hang-out after 13th March 2020. It was a good

day to go ‘Birding’ - Cloud Cover, Cool Breeze, Some Rain. And,

so it turned out at Dhanauri Wetlands.

First tryst was with ‘Chicks’ of Black-Winged Stilt and then with

that of Red-Wattled Lapwing - all on the way.

Dhanauri, of course, the first ‘Darshan’ is of Sarus Cranes -

nearly 25 in families of 2, 3,4 but no flock seen.

The Highlight, of course, was an Indian Spot-Billed Duck with

a ‘brood’ of 10 - swimming to Glory all over the Water. The other

such seen was of a Lesser Whistling Teal.

Here are three Chicks - none came close enough to do a

full-frame shot.

Enjoy.
