A Visit to Vijay Cavale's Farm - 05 September 2004

An outing with Ramki was long overdue. So, we decided to meet up at Vijay's place and drive down to his farm for a day's outing. Swarna (Ramki's wife) also joined us. Since the weather was not with us, we took our own sweet time  to leave from Vijay's home.  As usual we drove down the country side and shot along the way.  We were on the lookout for the Brown Shrikes. But I guess it's still too early to sight them. I remember seeing the first winter brown shrike around  October 2nd last year along with Vijay and Suraj.

It was around 11:30am when we reached Vijay's farm. The farm was lush green steaming with activity, beautiful flowers blooming and the birds chirping everywhere.





The Baya weavers had started nesting . We shot till 1:30pm, had an excellent lunch and relaxed for sometime. Later in the afternoon, we had some tea and left for Bangalore.

Here are some photographs shot along the way and at Vijay's farm. Hope you like them.
