Sunday morning we (Ritesh and me) started towards our favorite hotspot for birding and photography - Talawe, Nerul.
Each time I visit this place a question comes to the mind "How long it will remain this way?". Hope it remains so for a very long time!!
Already one can see huge buildings in the backdrop increasing day by day.
This is a wonderful place to visit for every season.
Winter is for larks, pipits, blue throat, buschats, harrier and waders.
Summer and especially in rains its breeding season for beauties like prinias, cisticola, munias and weavers.
These were the ones we had specially gone to see.
Also this is wonderful breeding ground for different butterflies after the end of monsoon.
This time we saw blue tiger pupas and fresh adult butterflies emerging out of it.
Already had a complete lifecycle caught on camera
except for the complete transparent pupa out of which fresh butterfly had emerged.
