The Monsoon Magic, Dandeli

Dandeli is rich in wildlife. Even in the urban areas, during monsoon, one can see a lot of birds, and lesser wild animals.

You are in Dandeli and did not see the hornbill? Its simply impossible.

During COVID-19, I am confined to home. All the above pictures are taken from a window through my room. Luckily there is was an old DSLR camera, Canon-1100D with Tamron-70-300mm lens lying here. Even though it's not of best specification, still it can take pictures at a good level.

I take the pictures and document the various birds, this has been a hobby for some time now. Hobbies are related to situations in many instances.
