Long Day for the Night Dweller

Rediscovering nature is a sort of detective work. Keeping your senses tuned towards nature and its elements is necessary. With practice it becomes your second nature. Stay curious, that’s the way… Here is a story that I would like to share… 7:05 am 14th January 2026 Morning is quite cold, but outside on a neem tree birds were having a heated conversation. Jungle babblers, crows, red-vented bulbuls etc, all were quite alarmed. I first thought it was a cat or a monkey. But after sometime I felt whatever was there inside the foliage as deeply disturbed the serenity of that location. People below are taking a walk in the park, while the temperature was quite low. Maybe in their minds many thoughts might running and creating a cacophony similar to what was happening on top of this tree. I felt it would be better to wait for a while, as I assumed if the thing that disturbing them was a cat or a monkey, it would move out soon. But the ruckus continues. 7:14 am Within ten minutes I was out to observe, the reason for the disturbance. Considering the ambience and setting it must be something these birds are […]

  Last year has been productive in intrinsic manner. While facing fresh challenges I have learnt to adapt to given circumstances. Even as conflicts were raging around the world giving news of despair and creating anxiety for the audience, there always has been refuge provide by nature to many.    Observing nature in the small corner nearby me have always taught me to continue my pursuits even when the results are sometimes not as prompt as the attempts made.    As usual Science Next Door  always gave me the opportunity to share my thoughts on nature continuously for the fourth year. What started in April 2021 with a poem on butterflies has now grown to reach 137 so far.  Will I be able to contribute 150 poems in this website?

  • Use Light Creatively July 18, 2026
    Sit in the same position for an hour and you’ll see just how quickly light changes. The direction of light will dramatically affect the way shadows fall in a scene within nature or on a subject. The word “Photography” comes from Greek word meaning to write or draw with light. Lighting can transform an image, adding […]

  • Ethics Matter July 18, 2026
    When photographing wildlife I am trying to document wild behaviour, something that occurred naturally. I am not trying to create something that was fake and contrived. You can’t get privileged views of wildlife and their behaviour unless you are either unnoticed or ignored. Make the subject completely at ease should be your aim, they shouldn’t […]

  • Dipper Project May 24, 2026
    Working on your own projects is a great way of learning more about your chosen subject, while becoming a better wildlife photographer I firmly believe. Learning how the light changes at different times of day, when wildlife is most active and much more through time spent in the field. You will also learn so much about […]
