Indian
Photo Safari
Birding Photographic Tour in
India
"There
is nothing in which the birds differ more from man than the way in which
they can build and yet leave a landscape as it was before." - - Robert
Lynd
A bird does not sing because it has an answer. It
sings because it has a song. ~Chinese Proverb "With
their senses of hearing and sight far sharper than our own, wild birds can
be difficult subjects to observe and photograph. Whether or not your
intended subjects will let you come within camera range often depends on
whether they regards you as a potential threat or just as a harmless
observer.
India is a country with an unrivalled range of cultures,
landscapes and birds to match. From the Himalaya worth the highest mountains
in the world to the Jungles and beaches of the south, from the great Thar
desert in the west to the wettest place in the northeast- India is truly a
land of contrasts which never fails to surprise and fascinate the visitor.

The
country's avifauna is largely oriental with a good admixture of Palearctic
elements. With more than 1220 species recorded, India hosts some 12.5% of
the world's birds and nearly half of those of oriental region. The
birdwatcher will find plenty to search for and study and will discover that
more than just one or two trips are needed to do the indigenous birdlife
justice.
Approximately 150 of the species found in India are
endemic to the Indian subcontinent, or nearly so. Many are relatively poorly
known and some have only been seen by a handful of ornithologists, so any
observation on distribution, habitat or behavior could be valuable.
A
trip to India is always an adventure. We invite you to come with an open
mind, a sense of humour, flexible attitude and a good set of binoculars to
partake the enjoyment while birding in India. Join the Bird Photographic
Safari...accompanied by an expert with more then 10 years of birding
experience in the wilds.
