Rising of Milkyway

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
I never forget 10th April'16 coz i was with my close friend Pankaj n his family at Vansda National Park.Pankaj came from Bharuch in early morning and reach near my home around at 6.30am.we reach there around at 9am n started birding but what a bad luck we didn't get a single click of bird whole day.<br />
we came out around at 5.30pm and he dropped me at Vansda coz my other friend Viren,Hiren,Aneeket n Dhrameshbhai was coming for night photography.we went to Dharmeshbhai's Farmhouse n taken dinner there,the taste was superb n unforgettable.around 8pm we went for a shot of train,before we reach there we met our fb friend group of Urmil,Hardik, Kiritbhai n other who were came from Jamnagar. we were getting late n went in hurry but as expected we didnt got our desire frame.<br />
now there is no way to go for milkyway at our spot.we went there n till rising of milkyway enjoyed lot with different different types of experiments coz we have to wait till riding of milkyway n its just before 2am.<br />
when i see the rising of milyway,its a awesome experience coz its 1st time for me.the problem came with me again,i forget the extra battery at farmhouse but friend is friend,Dharmeshbhai gave his Canon 5D Mark 3 with Samyang 14mm f/2.8 and took this superb shot.we had waited till 2.15am n see the Rising of Milkyway.<br />
Special thanks to Dhameshbhai<br />

Nirav told us that tree has a habitat of Spotted Eagle so Viren told me to locate as he didn't clicked it till now. we moved there n searching Spotted Owlet but cudnt find.in between we had spotted babies of Yellow Bittern n we had started clicking them.<br />
Around 1.25pm that Yellow Bittern came n sit just away from us,we were lucky to frame it in open background.even i had shoot a video.<br />

i was interested to click Short-toed Snake Eagle as one my friend had clicked in our area so i told him for location n he shared on phone so i went on 31/12/15 around at 8am on bike as unable to reach thru car due narrow road.<br />
Reached around at 8.30am but didn't seen the Short-toed Snake Eagle on a cut coconut tree where this beauty regularly sit.waited for 30-40min but it didn't come so thought to go ahead for another birds.enjoyed clicking Indian Roller,Black Drongo,Stonechat,etc n return again that place after 1hour but bad luck continued n decided to go back home.<br />
while i was driving bike,i was looking both side of road n after drive of 1km stopped the bike as i had seen different looking bird far away from road,focused in camera but unable to identify bird coz it was more then 800mtr away.parked the bike n started walking towards it very carefully n also clicking for record shots.<br />
at one point i reached and clicked,identified as Black-eared Kite so lil disappointed as its commoner n thought to return but its looks different mood with elevated feathers like in excited phase.so very carefully again approached for close shot n luckily it didn't fly away even i am noticed and here is result.<br />

Flamingos fly away.i thought,i have a time to approach inside where 
flamingos would come so moved inside.after waiting of 30-40min they 
again came but far away from me n this time it was very bad situation,i 
cudn't go further inside to them coz there was tide came in river n 
every where was wet n mud but some how i managed to go lil closure and 
again started clicking.got some good shots but after 10-15min that 
Raptor again came for hunt n all flamingos fly away so far.<br />
<br />i was very disappointed coz didn't took close up shots.Returned home n thought to will go again there for best shots.<br />
<br />As
 per plan i had decided to go there again after of 2 days mean on 14th 
April'15.Thought to wake up at 7.30am but due to subconscious mind 
effect i wake up around at 6.30 am.Reached there before 8am and find 
closet location n sit there.taken few shots, flamingos are coming 
towards me but sudden they turn back and going away from me, i was 
surprised that why this happen!!!,i saw some photographers are taking 
shots in standing, handheld n they are going towards these flamingos so 
these wildlife Photographers been noticed by Flamingos n went 
back....some fly away.My mood was upset n much anger.<br />i had waited n 
waited for long time but Flamingos didn't came n did time pass with taking
 photos of mud-skipper,pond heron etc. After 2 hours+ of waiting they 
again came n got good shots of flamingos in group n single flamingo,even
 recorded videos.</blockquote>

Morning session was excellent for us during i was at Modhava beach.As expected for breeding plumage, we get excellent clicks.the time was going n sunlight was started to burn us around at 9am so we decided to try for another 30-40min n moved further inside.<br />
as i was exhausted so i was walking slower then my other friends n i see them taking snaps of western Reef Egret n intermediate Egret,while i reach there my frnd Pankaj told me its a white morph of Western Reef Egret so myself also lying down on ground n i was so happy that i had clicked Western Reef Egret Black Morph and White Morph (Breeding Plumage) in a single frame.<br />

Horn-eyed Ghost Crab

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
We went again at Modhava Beach around at 3pm on 30/04/16 for frame Flamingos with Sunset.but our bad luck was there.The sun was playing hide n seek in the clouds n falmingos were also fly away so i was lil disappointed coz we went there for this moment n traveled aprx 700km n we lost moments.<br />
But thanks to our friend Nirav Pomal who told us to frame crab known as Horn-eyed Ghost Crab, scientific name is Ocypode brevicornis.at first i had avoided to click but Nirav,Pankaj and Hiren were lying down on ground so i haven't choice to do other coz there were no birds.there were many crabs and we were very close to each other so myself moved at other side n clicked some good shots then seen big crab n moved at that side,lying down myself n very carefully crawl till better view for photo and video.<br />

<br />
These are usually on sandy beach near or above the high water mark. It is said that when tunneling out their burrow, the crab carry sand to about 50-100 cm away from the burrow entrance, then toss the sand as far as it can. This behaviour probably explains the typical "spray" pattern of sand around the burrow. The burrow can be quite deep. <br />
<br />
Body width 6-8cm. Body squarish box-like. Usually bluish grey with brown markings on the back, often in the shape of an "H". But a variety of other patterns also seen. Pincers long, downward pointing often with white or pale claws. Has a vertical ridge on the inside of the 'palm' that produces a rasping sound when rubbed against the rough surface of the face. This is probably done to declare their territory. Legs long with pointed tips. Large eyes on short stalks which can fold away into grooves on the body when the crab burrows into the sand. Adult crabs have a characteristic tall skinny point or 'horn' on top of each eye (called the stylophthalmous), usually darker in colour. The horn is shorter in females and absent in juveniles (2.5cm or smaller). A study found that juveniles can change their body colour and pattern to match the surrounding sand, usually becoming lighter during the day and darker at night.<br />
<br />
Ghost crabs are well adapted for life out of water and are among the few marine creatures that roam the beaches at low tide, particularly at night. They run rapidly on the sand and can burrow quickly into wet sand. They can stay for a long time away from the sea because they can absorb water from the wet sand through special hairs on the base of their legs by capillary action.<br />
<br />
Ghost crabs can really run fast! As suggested by their scientific name ("Ocy" means swift and "podi" foot in Greek). They literally fly over the sand and their movement has been described as a small leaf blowing over the sand surface. In fact, they may be among the fastest land creatures, moving at 100 bodylengths per second. In comparison, the cockroach does 50 bodylengths while the cheetah does a sluggish 10 bodylengths. Ghost crabs are only beaten by tiger beetles which do 171 body lengths when they are really scared. Being fast moving creatures, Ghost crabs have excellent eyesight to see where they are going. So, if a ghost crab was of comparable size, they’d be running at something close to 340 and 530 Km/h!<br />
Same as Human they are also right n left hand sided mean if it have big claw on right hand side then it is a right handed.<br />
<br />
They make small mountain to attract the female for mating,i was lucky to film the making of this mountain.they are Nature's Architect.<br />

Chestnut-bellied Sandgrouse Close up (Male)

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Before our trip to Mandvi,myself and Pankaj decided to go GRK for 
Great indian Bustard but our friend Dilipsinh told that we can sight 
only Great indian Bustard at GRK n other sighting will rare so we 
postponed our trip of GRK for next time n went to <span class="_5yl5">Fort Mahadev</span><br />
Again we wake up early aprx around 5am n check out from our hotel,started journey towards <span class="_5yl5">Fort Mahadev.</span>we
 stopped at one village n take tea n breakfast.we reached at Nakhatrana 
where our another friend Nirav Pomal was waiting n then went to <span class="_5yl5">Fort Mahadev. </span>we parked Elantra coz its ground clearance was low n went in Nirav's Car.our target was for Black Francolin,we were late.<br />
after all we got good shots of Chestnut-bellied Sandgrouse Male and Female, Jungle Bush Quail.<br />
We further went inside for Black Francolin but its  Chestnut-bellied Sandgrouse day n sighted 4.we moved back n roaming in car here n there.it was around 10am n thought to return,sudden i see black color type bird shape n thought for Black Francolin so asked Nirav to stop the car n focused but it was a stone,we laughed.while i was looking around seen Chestnut-bellied Sandgrouse female and we moved there in our car,even we made circle around this Chestnut-bellied Sandgrouse in our car.from some distance we stopped n came out,started crawling towards it.while we approached to close n closure we stopped coz there was a male too...what a strange coz its so camouflage n our car might passed very close to this male n it didn't fly away.<br />
Tomorrow i will post male and female close shot in one frame with video.<br />

White-rumped Vulture (Juvenile)

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Since Many days myself n my friend Dr.Pankaj had planned trip for Breeding Plumage of waders at Mandvi,Kutch.so i ahd talked with my another friend Dilipsinh Chudashama n Nirav Pomal who were residing at there n both them asked to come on month end so our trip date was fixed on 30/4/16.<br />
Around 4am i woke up on 29th April n after getting fresh n tea with breakfast made by my sweetheart,started driving around at 4.40am towards Bardoli to meet my another friend Viren Desai n Hiren Joshi.reached there around at 5.20am n parked my car at Viren's home then we went in Viren's Elantra towards Ahmadabad.<br />
we reached Ahmadabad around at 11am n picked up Pankaj. now we were on the way towards Bhuj,we thought for non-stop drive.after 1.30hr of drive Pankaj sighted bird flying n thought for vulture n i targeted my bazooka towards it,Pankaj was right.its a White-rumped Vulture,but it was so far away from us so we moved but within 10 second another vultue sighted now Viren park car road side n clicked some shots.then Pankaj told we were 50km away from one village n if u wanna click then we should go there for close shot,i told that it was mine 1st sighting n we came from 600+km for waders but also click other birds too.so all agree n we went a village near Dhangadhra,dist Surendranagar.<br />
it was very hot climate but we were excited to click lifer.Pankaj told me the location but we cudnt find any vulture there so we moved ahead.i seen nest there n looking up on the tree n happiness came in my eye.it was a White-rumped Vulture Juvenile as id confirmed by Pankaj.we took some shots n seen another two Juvenile there.<br />
we had waited for 30+min for adult to came there to feed Juvenile but they didnt came n we were getting late so we moved on the tack of Bhuj.<br />
