i was sitting on back seat,after drive of 700+mtr from entering towards wetland,sudden i see pair of Chestnut-tailled Starling. thought that might be i am wrong as it usually not sighted there so told Abhay to reverse the car to confirm and happy for my sighting.clicked for a record shot as it was taken in hurry coz one black drongo was disturbing them and fly away.we had waited for 5min but they didn't came back.<br />

Greater Flamingo Pair in Love

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Birding in monsoon gives superb shots but if proper sunlight is there.one my best friend Viren Desai called me around at 4pm on 1/9/16 to join him to go at Sultanpur Wetland,Navsari as he had not visited and his cousin brother Abhay Naik wants to do photography there.as i had did photogrpahy last year and didn't want to go there for flamingo as they were much inside and due to cloudy weather shots were not up to my mark.Viren told me to come with him just for bird watching,we will not shoot there,finally i said yes at 10pm.<br />
Around 7am i left towards our meeting point and reached there,parked my cheetah and went in Abhay's car.as i had visited i was know the road but forgotten and driven 5+km on wrong way,sudden realise and turned map on and reached Sultanpur around at n 8.30am.<br />
at first i didnt shoot any pic but thought for new bird and find chestnut-tailed starling pair.close shot shot of indian silverbill.<br />
Flamingo were much inside so i asked to sit at one point and not to move,and succeed group of Greater Flamingo little come towards us, clicked some shots with loving movements.even they are far away and even in more crop,image was not sharp but love this loving freeze.<br />
due to cloudy weather and distance shot added lights and saturation for better view.<br />

On 19/08/15 Around 4.30pm i was taking photos of Greater Flamingos at Sultanpur Wetland,due to backlit photos are dark so thought to move ahead so light not came behind the flamingos. while i was focusing flamingos my camera went out of focus n seen many flamingos far away mean at other side of wetland. when these 4 flamingos moved further inside of wetland, i also think to go at other side of wetland.<br />
after reaching there i was so confused....how to cross n go closure!!!!<br />

how to go closer as there is water lane width of 4 to 6ft n its difficult to jump for me as never ever tried in my life till now.walked here n there for 15-20min for cross this little river lol, but didn't find the narrower.after 20min, at a one point i stopped myself n thought for jump after running.it was very difficult coz my camera n 150-600mm lens is on tripod.even in fear that if i failed n fall then lens will break....<br />
finally walk for 10 ft...take a deep breath n run....n luckily m succeed to jump 5ft river lol...but my shoes are in lil dry n wet mud.<br />
see my Nike shoes of 5k :(<br />

whatever it was a very proud moment for me.walked towards flamingos. there was a 6ft wall made of dried mud n soil so very slowly took position for photo.thought to climb n go up then go to close of water so climb up myself then slide to down...now my cloths were mud stained. but always final result is sweet and got some good photos due to flamingos were away so they ignored me.started clicking with different settings. took video too.<br />

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
As i was on social trip, i had decided to go at Sultanpur wetland for duck n spoonbil when i return to my home but my friend Dr.Dharmeshbhai told that he got news of Greater Flamingos had arrived at Sultanpur near Navsari, i was so happy for clear weather.<br />
i went sultanpur only 2 times. at 1st time i didn't find main wetland n during 2nd time i was with my birding friends so the road map was lil difficult to find the location.so i had set location on google map in my mobile. the map shows the village but not wetland so i went lil ahead even i ignored the board which shows bird seen in this wetland.sudden noticed n return to that area n turn my car.<br />
The road was very small,if other car come in-front of me it may very difficult n somehow i reached.<br />
3-4 flamingos were seen with eyes,when i focused they were Greater Flamingos....wow.but i was at wrong side mean sun was 90 degree to bird n giving backlit.so moved lil ahead n took 4-5 shot.<br />
