SO. This page has been quite inactive for a few months. A student's life, you see.
The month of May should be a lot better and far more exciting. Stay tuned for more posts and ofcourse, the one thing we all love: photography. :)

'My top photographs 2013'
1.Lesser Adjutant: The Lesser Adjutant (Leptoptilos javanicus) is a large wading bird in the stork family Ciconiidae. Like other members of its genus, it has a bare neck and head. It is however more closely associated with wetland habitats where it is solitary and is less likely to scavenge than the related Greater Adjutant

2.Spotted deer: he chital or cheetal (Axis axis), also known as chital deer, spotted deer or axis deer, is a deer which commonly inhabits wooded regions of India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, and in small numbers in Pakistan.

3.Golden crab: Ghost crabs are semi-terrestrial crabs of the subfamily Ocypodinae. They are common shore crabs in tropical and subtropical regions throughout the world, inhabiting deep burrows in the intertidal zone. They are generalist scavengers and predators of small animals. The name "ghost crab" derives from their nocturnality and their generally pale coloration.[

4. The lesser cormorant: this one is one of my personal favourites. In this picture the comorant is drying itself after a dive. this common behaviour has been observed acroos this family of fishing birds.

5.Laughing dove:The Laughing Dove (Spilopelia senegalensis) is a small pigeon that is a resident breeder in Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East east to the Indian Subcontinent. This small long-tailed dove is found in dry scrub and semi-desert habitats where pairs can often be seen feeding on the ground. A rufous and black chequered necklace gives it a distinctive pattern and is also easily distinguished from other doves by its call.

6.Whiskered tern:The Whiskered tern eats small fish, amphibians, insects and crustaceans.In this patrticular image the tern is scanning the water for it's next morsel.

These are photos taken across three states- Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Hence the name. The album isn't based on anything specific. It just has a bunch of photos that everyone on a journey look at, but don't really notice or appreciate, which is what this page aims to bring out. :)

This album has more pictures of birds than of the monuments. I apologise for this. I've only put up those pics that actually came out well :)
