MESMERIZING MARCH 2023

Emerging out of the blues!!!! Sorry for my long spell of staying away from blogging. Our FBFC members are scattered all over the country like the rarely seen sparrows and we are now trying to get in touch and hopefully contribute now and then, if not regularly.

We begin with a bang on this 'World Wildlife Day 2023'. Feast your eyes on the gorgeous wild, that coexist in perfect harmony in the 360+ acres campus of my vibrant lush green college campus, since nearly 2 centuries. I feel blessed to be spending 3 years of my life's journey in this haven of the most exquisite flora and fauna. I feel honoured and absolutely thrilled to share with you the stunning creatures of my campus as well as clicks from a 5-day camp at the Pichavaram forests of Cuddalore district, TN.

We have been blessed with some excellent mentors who keep contributing classic candid clicks of Indian flora and fauna with a few clicks from abroad too. Some priceless pics are contributed by my cousin Anitha. Her efforts are complemented by husband Arun, who has designed and constructed cozy perches that attract a whole lot of birds. The munias troop in fearlessly for their 'thinna' (a millet) feed and the other birds like the rufus treepie, bulbul, magpie robin, white cheeked barbet, etc., love fresh home-baked bread, sliced bananas (other than nendran), etc., though she doesn't think that bird feeding is endorsed by naturalists. Besides the plethora of activities they are involved in, they are also committed care givers, to all needy creatures. So sit back and enjoy their photographs in waves.
