Of Birds and Bs–from Kerala

Recently, had an opportunity to watch some birds from close quarters.

a few days away from the normal routine, some of my earlier understanding of birds changed.

that not all birds are angry..

some are lazy..

to get into the water to fish!

while some are patient, on the ground – close to action

 , others plan their strategies

   from a height.

and that not only birds of a feather flock together.. - maybe these are politicians,

were alliances are for short term convenience!

and then there were some as teams  

and some, loners..  

 .

in our enthusiasm to capture nature, , we forgot the schemes of men.

  - that our cruise boats got caught in a net once

and some plastic sheets the second time, we had to get help

  from local fisher folk and also some extra effort by the boatmen

to get out of the mangroves.. .

all these were in the backwaters of Kerala  

 

the bird theme was everywhere, including the way the towel in our hotel room was folded..

there were many ‘touristy photo’ moments.. ,

 or  

this blog is an attempt to capture just a little bit of the memories  

of the Birds and the B[ackwater]s of Kerala..
