Tiggu cub

Tiggu cub An early March visit to Kabini gave us this opportunity to photograph this cute little cubs in the tiger tank area of Kabini, Nagarhole tiger reserve. A long wanted sighting of the cub was fulfilled by this sighting. The image was made in extreme conditions in anti light and at the fag end of the safari in the morning, however for a first ever sighting of the cubs for me it was worth all the while. We were lucky to get this image as from the next safari onwards due to some work going on in the water tank the access to the road near the tank was cut off. The image is a huge crop of the tiger cub hence there is degradation in the quality.

Swinhoe’s minivet

Swinhoe’s minivet A first ever record of this species for Bangalore. We found this vagarant mixing with other minivets and glad to record this bird in Bangalore. Once we heard the sighting of this bird a quick check was made on the possible location and the next day morning (saturday) we were there to see if we can see this bird. We searched for an hour or so and then managed to sight this bird and also record a few images. Swinhoe’s minivet or brown-rumped minivet is a species of bird in the cuckooshrike family, Campephagidae. A bird that is commonly found in temperate forests, sub tropical or moist low land forests.
