<span style="font-size: x-large;">8</span>th May 2017 was the last day of our Sasan Trip and as always we were
 late in our morning Safari, So we paid big loss of 2 Adult male Lion 
just by 10min even we entered at 6.30am.whom i blame, coz we all are 
friend n go ahead.<br />
we went inside after useless waiting of 20min 
and sudden fog came and covered most of area.again disappointment.still 
we moved inside n inside till 7.10am and find nothing due to heavy fog 
except Peacock.  <br />
Sudden
 Fog fade out and like our bad luck also gone,we saw group of 
Lions.stopped there,enjoyed watching them and clicked so many shots.Tracker told to move and our Gypsy moved towards railway track.<br />
After drive of 10+min we saw 2 lions walking  but one had sit there and one started walking so we follow the king and stopped at one point on road and waiting for it to cross the road.after 5-7min we saw and started clicking it.we were busy to clicking Lion and our guide told us to focus for 2nd one.it was very close and missed to frame full body, crossed the road and went inside the bushes.here is the unlucky frame.<br />

Since Long time,i has a dram to frame Lion on a Railway track and thought to fulfill this wish During my Sasan Trip in May 2017.Mostly it depends on luck coz lion mostly not cross its territory or if they try to do,their tracker not to do them.<br />
we Started our Morning safari at its time and searching birds as well as leopard and lion.it was lil foggy morning and we sighted Spotted owlet,Tickell's blue Flycatcher,Yellow-crowned Woodpecker.Then we moved inside and clicked Male Spotted Deer and later Sambar Deer. while we moved further inside on our root,we sighted groups of Sub Adult Lion and Liones,clicked some shots and moved towards railway line for my desire shot.Before we reach ther,i sighted Jungle Nightjar and clicked good shots.<br />
After giving 2min,we rushed at railway crossing and dont know what our sixth sense worked but one of gypsy covered whole road and we missed my dream shot.so we forced our gypsy driver to drive and that narrow minded driver,driven his gypsy lil aside.while we reach over track,Lion crossed and walking beside the track.i missed shot.most worst thing was in that gypsy,no one had camera...<br />

Indian Golden Jackal

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
it was end of our 2nd day's evening safari and we were returning,but still we were looking for leopards for sighting.we told our gypsy driver to drive fast to go near by to ground level water tank coz wild animals mostly came there before sun set.<br />
while we reach at one of ground level water tank,we had sighted Indian Golden Jackal and it was drinking water.it was great moment to watch such activity,we had clicked some shots.after drinking water,sudden it jump down to ground and started running towards us,might be it ignored us or whatever but we were lucky to frame straight body pose.<br />

Peacock with Golden Feather

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
As long story posted in <a href="http://www.yugworld.net/2017/05/brown-fish-owl.html#.WRmOTMaZGM9">Brown Fish Owl</a> , we had clicked it then went to Amber farm, sasan for stay.then we had did 6am to 9am and 3pm to 6pm safari in sasan for 2 consecutive day.all day we sighted lions and birds but we were expecting leopard but bad luck for us.<br />
on 08/05/17 we decided to go early and though we reach there at 6am and started safari at 6.20am.while we entered,faced fog and unable to see beyond 25mtr so thought for bad luck again coz fog was every where.we can see sun clear but looks like a moon.<br />
After drive of 30+min,sudden i asked to our gypsy driver to stop and reverse it very slowly then asked to stop.i told my friends to focus and click a Indian peafowl.it was sitting on a dried and broken tree with spreading of its feather.due to fog and against light,clicked 2 shot in hurry then i took vertical shot.while i go to change the direction of camera,feather went in original position.i thought,i was lucky to frame my dream shot.when i see in my camera's display,it was over exposed but tried hard to recover details.even frame was full of surrounding dried tree branches and distracting whole frame so blurred at some level to looks better.whole procedure took approx 2hour.<br />
here is the result<br />
