Purpel heron fighting

 even in the bird kingdom all is not well, Purple herons are pissed off at each other looks like

Headed to Monglajhori - lake chilika

 

 

 

 

0630 saw us head out! Not before we tried one last time to find the emerald ring lost by my friend as she had cleared the table! Put all in a garbage bag! I had in turn trashed the garbage bag at local dumpster. 

 

Note to all: be careful while cleaning! Be patient n not in a rush to trash all! Cleanliness is ok but not at cost of...

 

Note to self: pro castranation is ok; don’t have to be too efficient or lazy. 

 

 

 

As we got out of the building! There's a marathon going on just outside my house, it took some negotiations to get the organizers to let us through!   N if truth were told the cops were really nice n helped us on our way.   Jan has loads of events in koi for sure. Please plan your trip accordingly n don’t forget to enjoy.

 

 

We made it to Park Street to meet up with other photographer’s n started out finally at 0740 hrs. Gps mentioned it will be 1834 hrs. 

 

 

For us to reach traversing 520km approx. 4 of us headed out n took first break at - kolaghat, htl Anaya it was n we enjoyed the food here,

 

 Aloo parathas n curd n coffee seemed like a very well visited hotel by the number of folks who trooped in while we were waiting.  Breakfast done we did a steady 200km almost before we took a break for lunch.   

 

20km after Bhadrak, Orissa. at k3- restaurant, food quality 7.5,

 

  Fish was available too, Orissa one would think being so close to the sea there would be sea fish available too, but that's not the case, only river fish is available.

 

 

 

We are at Godwit (name of a bird) eco resort.  Basic accommodation no a/c but hot water available costs Rs 2500/day approx., with food.

N is one of 3 staying place in 5 km radius of boating jetty, which is 4 km from our hotel. There’s Monglajhore nature camp 3km from jetty n a homestay closest to the jetty (still 2km away)

 

Mobile tower/ connectivity very iffy, 

 

Can make calls occasionally depending on where one is. Data connection non-existent almost.

 

Yes one can forget there mobile while here n soak in nature.

Make sure you enjoy the company of whom you travelling with. As they will be only friendly face you will set eyes on for your duration of stay. 

 

We are here for 3 nights that's 5 safari to see and photograph birds
