Hunting has been banned in India for decades. These are some pictures I took while visiting the sanctuary in January. It was the hunting preserve of the local Maharajah. The old hunting logs show that 30 to 40 guns shot over 4000 birds in a day about 100 years ago. Nakta Duck  White breasted water hen - like a moor hen  Shoveller - great plumage even in january  Green pigeon (I have shot these in Assam in the 1980s.  Spot bill ducks - I have shot these as well    Lesser Whistling teal - a tree nesting duck like the Nukta. Good shooting  A thrush or a flycatcher  We saw pythons sunning themselves. Also nilgai, chital & wild boar. "When the wind stops....start rowing. When the wind starts, get the sail up quick." | ||

Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running...... "If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you." | |||
