January 28, 2015

I remember day dawned as Sunny & Bright. Of course, the time was to get ready and

go to Dhanauri Wetlands.

As I was half way to Dhanauri, the fog settled and later the Clouds came in.

All the usual Birds were there and had some fun no ‘crackling’ images due

poor light.

Then the Clouds thickened and some drops of Rain fell.  time to head back

home. We started the homeward journey but took the route to look for any

Raptors and Lo and Behold, we found sitting a half a mile away what we

initially thought was a Peregrine. Charted the route such that we come

near the Bird with the Sun on our back more so as the light had faded

due to Cloud Cover.

As we inched, as is my wont, slowly and rolling half a tyre at a time 

while keeping the Bird in peripheral vision so as not to spook the

Bird.

Then, there were the Best 14 Minutes of My Birding at Dhanauri Wetlands, 

Greater Noida, India on January 28, 2015. 

We reached the most appropriate point.  Click, Click, Click but then greed took over. 

As I was about to put on a Tele-Converter, it flew away and we were left Lamenting. 

But, the Luck Held. Soon as it had gone, it was back with a Prey - a Live Asian Pied Starling 

and perched right in front of us. Click, Click. The Bird saw us and warned - Stay Put or \

I would deal with you the way I am dealing with the Starling. We were quiet and video-graphing 

the Best 14 Minutes of Birding. 

Perhaps the Best of Dhanauri.
