Wildlife and Wildlife Photography - White Throated Kingfisher, Kabini Dec'15

Kingfisher are very cute and small found abundantly everywhere in India. It is a very common bird, but there are few varieties like Oriental Dwarf Kingfisher, a very colourful kingfisher. It is like God has put all the colours of the world into it. Rest are common kingfisher and White Throated Kingfisher.

Kabini is my favourite spot for holiday. Kabini offers everything a wildlife photography requires. Kabini is situated in Mysore, Karnataka. Kabini is 250 kms away from Bangalore. Jungle Lodges Resort is a quasi governmental organization which has rights of vehicles to enter into Wildlife Sanctuary or National Park.

It is always advisable to stay at Jungle Lodges Resort or JLR, as it is commonly known as. Even the people staying in different resorts need to come to JLR for jungle safari. This is only in Karnataka.

Birds are abundant in Kabini. Its a heaven for bird photographers. CSE, CHE, Brown Fish Owl, Vultures, Kingfishers are very common in Kabini.

We were into the morning safari and yet we didn't spot anything significant and then this White Throated Kingfisher was actually flying around and then it sat on a branch and this was the shot I took. This was in December 2015.
