"There
is nothing in which the birds differ more from man than the way in which they
can build and yet leave a landscape as it was before." - - Robert Lynd
A bird does not sing because it has an answer. It sings because it
has a song.
~Chinese Proverb "
With their senses of
hearing and sight far sharper than our own, wild birds can be difficult subjects
to observe and photograph. Whether or not your intended subjects will let
you come within camera range often depends on whether they regards you as a potential
threat or just as a harmless observer.
India is a country with an unrivalled
range of cultures, landscapes and birds to match. From the Himalaya worth
the highest mountains in the world to the Jungles and beaches of the south, from
the great Thar desert in the west to the wettest place in the northeast- India
is truly a land of contrasts which never fails to surprise and fascinate the visitor.
The country's avifauna is largely oriental with a good admixture of Palearctic
elements. With more than 1220 species recorded, India hosts some 12.5% of
the world's birds and nearly half of those of oriental region. The birdwatcher
will find plenty to search for and study and will discover that more than just
one or two trips are needed to do the indigenous birdlife justice.
Approximately
150 of the species found in India are endemic to the Indian subcontinent, or nearly
so. Many are relatively poorly known and some have only been seen by a handful
of ornithologists, so any observation on distribution, habitat or behavior could
be valuable.
A
trip to India is always an adventure. We invite you to come with an open
mind, a sense of humour, flexible attitude and a good set of binoculars to partake
the enjoyment while birding in India. Join the Bird Photographic Safari...accompanied
