After a quick bite at 0600 we headed out in open jeeps on safari.
It was cold, so we were adorned with blankets and hot water bottles. We went on two
safaris each 4 hours long.
We saw a lot of birds and animals. A lot of monkeys
On the morning safari we spotted a leopard as she headed down a gully
One of the thousands of deer in the park
A wild boar - little tusks on a big pig
Small little fawn
Mom and fawn in the grass
Pretty deer on a rise
A large Egret up in the trees
Monkey high in a tree
Cal and Virginia Ann at a tea stop during our safari
Laggar falcon
There was a dead animal carcass on a hill where a vulture and companion were dining.
The femail female vulture
Running duck
Looking for fish in the shallows
Mugger crocodile is sunning on the lake shore - there were several of these throughout the park's lakes/ponds.
Monkeys covering the road - they let us through
One of the gates to the park - this was the only dramatic entrance the rest were simply dirt roads.
Blue Peacock, the national bird of India, were everywhere.
A tiger!!!! Our only sighting for the day and it was in the high grass. Still quite a commotion as all the
safari jeeps tried to get a good line of sight.
Tiger food - beautiful antlers
While we waited for a tiger we watched this little red-legged bird look for fish or insects in the marsh.
This is a Black-winged Stilt.
Another marsh bird looking for food - this is a Purple Heron
A Pied kingfisher hoovered several times before diving into the lake. He was hard to catch before diving
but I was able to get a few good photographs.
On the road back to the camp we followed several goats along a dusty road.
