Just back from an amazing 7 day trip to the Jim Corbett National Park, the oldest park in the country.
Sharing an image I made at the park.
This month I feature a small wading bird, Ruddy Turnstone.
I made this picture on a beach near Alibaug.
After many months, did I get a chance to go into the wild & make a few decent pictures! I am sharing with you a picture of a Small Green Bee Eater, I made at Veer. Veer is a dam near Pune, where the migratory Bar Headed Geese make home every winter. Visited the place with the intention of making a few pictures of the Geese, but was unsuccessful this time.
As usual I have the calendar in three different resolutions, if none of these images fit your screen resolution, let me know, I will make one for you. :)Classic letterbox monitor (4:3)To download,

This summer like every summer I could not camp, I spent my days in an AC office, hammering away at the keyboard, just like any other 'IT Worker'. Last week I saw a small window to make good an escape from the AC office to a Tiger Sanctuary, before they closed down for the monsoons. Making a mad dash, I managed to join a group of friends heading to Kanha Tiger Reserve. The forest looked just plain beautiful, with shades of green and brown. Never had I had a chance to see Kanha in this season. It seemed like all the deers in the forest had come out into the meadows to celebrate and get wet in the rains. The male chital (spotted deers) sported beautiful antlers.
This July calendar, I send across a picture of one such male Chital.Classic square monitor (4:3)To download,

There is no need for me to describe or say much about the national bird of India. I hope you like it and look forward to your comments & critiques. To download please click on the links below.Classic square monitor (4:3)To download,

The colour of the month is Blue, because India entered the ICC World Cup 2011 finals. As a token of my support to the Indian Cricket Team, I have chosen a blue coloured bird to adorn your desktops.
The bird in the image is the Tickell's Blue Flycatcher (Cyornis tickelliae)
This month, the image will not have the calendar on it. I tried putting it at various locations, but it was spoiling the entire image.
Also, I have uploaded only 3 files, with the following sizes:
1. 1920 x 1200 (16:10)
2. 1920 x 1080 (16:9)
3. 1024 x 768 (4:3)
These days a lot of new laptops and new screens come in HD resolutions, i.e. 16:9 ratio, older screen came in a 16:10 ratio. If your monitor is a newer full HD monitor you can download the file number 2, if your monitor is a little older, you can download file number 1. If your monitor is of the real old type, square screen, please download file number 3.
And in-case neither of them fits your screen, please let me know the screen resolution, I shall custom make one for you and send it across.

This month, I use a photo I made a few years back and had forgotten about it. I stumbled onto it today morning. The current image was made at Veer Dam. I was lying flat on my stomach, when I saw this bird hop onto the rock.
The low angle, gives the image a characteristic "bokeh". The bird in the image is the Skyes Lark (Galerida deva)
This month, I present to you a very widely distributed long legged wader, Black Winged Stilt.
Hello Folks,
Wishing you all a Very Prosperous and Happy New Year.I hope all of you have accomplished all that you had planned to accomplish in the year 2010.I was able to accomplish a few things, some things I am not even close to accomplishing,
Finally... a desktop Calendar for December.
This is the Common Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis bengalensis)
Due to various reasons, I was not able to go out for a shoot, hence the calendars for the months in-between were missing.
Please download the calendar as per your screen resolution. 1024 x 768
