"There
is nothing in which the birds differ more from man than the way in which they
can build and yet leave a landscape as it was before." - - Robert Lynd
A bird does not sing because it has an answer. It
sings because it has a song. ~Chinese Proverb "With their
senses of hearing and sight far sharper than our own, wild birds can be
difficult subjects to observe and photograph. Whether or not your intended
subjects will let you come within camera range often depends on whether they
regards you as a potential threat or just as a harmless observer.
India
is a country with an unrivalled range of cultures, landscapes and birds to
match. From the Himalaya worth the highest mountains in the world to the
Jungles and beaches of the south, from the great Thar desert in the west to
the wettest place in the northeast- India is truly a land of contrasts which
never fails to surprise and fascinate the visitor.
The country's
avifauna is largely oriental with a good admixture of Palearctic elements.
With more than 1220 species recorded, India hosts some 12.5% of the world's
birds and nearly half of those of oriental region. The birdwatcher will find
plenty to search for and study and will discover that more than just one or
two trips are needed to do the indigenous birdlife justice.
Approximately
150 of the species found in India are endemic to the Indian subcontinent, or
nearly so. Many are relatively poorly known and some have only been seen by
a handful of ornithologists, so any observation on distribution, habitat or
behavior could be valuable.
A trip to India is always an adventure.
