This star bird was very well camouflaged amidst the tree stumps and small pieces of limestone when suddenly we heard its dheet call. Our guide Kailash immediately spotted this bird!

THIRSTY TIGER

We had a wonderful sighting of a young male tiger this evening! After waiting for almost a hour and a half, we only saw a sounder of wild boar and we decided to head back to the lodge. Suddenly, we saw young male tiger walking on the dry riverbed, without any distress calls from the other animals. He walked into the water hole and started drinking, it...

SLEUTH OF A BEAR

To see a sloth bear is not so easy in Kanha because of their shy nature and nocturnal activity but seeing three eating insects in meadows was a great sighting.

SLOTH BEAR

One evening inside the park we saw a black thing moving on the grass land next to road. When we drove closer we saw this huge sloth bear feeding on flowers on a Mahua tree. Once he saw us he started running away into the dense undergrowth and scrub forest.

LAST MINUTE LUCK

We were winding up and on our way out of the Park after a wonderful afternoon of birding, having notched up over 50 species in just about three hours. As we passed a waterhole, we saw a vehicle parked ahead of us, its passengers avidly looking at something at the edge of the water. We parked, but couldn't see a thing! Looking through the binoculars...

SERIOUS COMPETITION

It was a beautiful morning - the sky a clear blue - just right for spotting raptors. We had been driving around the river Pench, when we caught sight of a vulture. We went in to get a closer look, and were stunned by the sight of about 30 vultures on the carcass of a Chital (Spotted Deer). Long Billed, Egyptian, Red Headed and White Rumped vultures -...

ROCKING MORNING

We had been having an exciting morning, chasing alarm calls all around the Park, when we went up some rocks thinking there could be a Leopard there. What we did find instead, was a pack of five Dholes (Wild Dogs) that had just brought down a Chital doe, and were in the process of feeding on her even as she tried getting away. A gruesome, but rare sight......
