YuGWoRLD: Waders

Curlew Sandpiper

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Love to frame breeding colors of birds.As i regularly went different-different places for breeding birds in Gujarat during April to May with my friend Dr.Pankaj Maheria. Last year,i had decided to visit Jamnagar for Breeding as its heaven for bird photographers and got a chance in the April end.<br />
it was very late for breeding colors as most breeding birds were fly away in the April end but still i went there.from our hotel to this place is 1+hr drive away so we reached there before sunrise and waiting for high tide to start and bird will come closer to shore.as tide started, find the place and lye down on ground for waiting of birds to come closure to us.after 30+min they had started walking towards us but sudden fly away and our all wait was over due to one well known photographer/mentor who was clicking photos just 200+meter away from us and due to fly away of small group of bird by crawling towards them,he stand up...1year waiting was gone.too much anger but forgot it and went back where our guide was sitting.<br />
Our Guide shows another folks and i had crawl for 100+ meter and taking photos and again this man came and all folks fly away. now we have no option to return.<br />
Pankaj told to visit other end of beach and we find few folks but not happy with this shot.<br />
