Kaziranga Assam – Jan 2009

October 2nd,2009

This is a way overdue report and I will keep it short.

The Scarlet Sunbird from our hotel room. A really really long shot with the 600 + TC 17 ( 1/60th  @ F6.7 ISO 250)  but,  I like this one. This is one pretty birdie for sure !

Highlights

Hoolock Gibbon, the only Ape in India at Panbari.

Rare ones: The Abbots Babbler & The Silver Breasted Broadbill also at Panbari. Panbari is a forest and a dense one and totally high ISO zone. One can only do a walking trail.  Shooting style, hand held or at best, long lens on a monopod.  Be very aware of stumbling into wild elephants.

The Swamp Francolin on the eastern  range. Way low light and these were pretty far away. Not the best of shots but, there you are.

The Grey Headed Fish Eagle

Starling roosting flight & an Asian Barred Owlet

The Pallas Fish Eagle

The King Vulture & Another Pallas Fish Eagle above its nest. I like this one 🙂

The Elephants

The Turtles

Wild Buffalo

Of course the Indian Rhino

On the last morning I got this right from our breakfast table at Wildgrass Resort. The Black hooded oriole.

There is a bunch more at the bottom of the page.

I have a few more to pics process and will add them in later.

The Golden Langur

Thousands of Greater Adjutant Storks at Guwahati Garbage Dump. Probably the single largest population  of  the endangered Greater Adjutant Storks anywhere in the world.
