Every time I go out for a bird outing in-and-around Hyderabad, I'm always pleasantly surprised with the variety of Birds. This time it was no different. A note of thanks goes to Akshay, Rahul and Ajith for joining from RTP. Also a note of thanks goes to the Photography Equipment without which capturing this beauty wouldn't have been possible.

Beautiful captures.... What time of the day have you visited this place?
ReplyDeleteThanks! We reached around 6 AM and returned around 9-30 AM.
DeleteWhich month of the year is best??
ReplyDeleteDepends on what birds you are targeting. If migrants is what you want then Dec-Jan-Feb is best. Otherwise you will get all residents only.
DeleteHey Sumeet. I needed little more information regarding these birding outings. Could we get in touch? I believe, I had left a comment earlier too.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
