These encounters weren’t planned or controlled. No Cages! No Scripts! Just fleeting moments where wild animals meet the human gaze. Each look is a presence, a life moving through the same landscapes as us - forests, grasslands, hills. 

We are visitors in their world as much as they are part of ours. To watch them look back is to remember responsibility, humility and coexistence.

Hidden deep within the Amrabad Tiger Reserve, Chenchu sacred groves like Maisamma Madugu are protected patches of forest revered by the indigenous Chenchu tribe. These sites are managed through traditional wisdom, serving as biodiversity hotspots, conserving rare flora & acting as sanctuaries for wildlife. The tribe’s belief system ensures these groves remain untouched, fostering ecological balance and protecting natural resources.

A small, compact white heron with relatively short yellow bill. More frequently seen in dry habitats than other egrets. In the breeding season, look for bright orange head and breast. Often gathers in flocks, frequently following cattle or tractors in fields.

A small heron that is common in most aquatic habitats across the Indian subcontinent. Adults in breeding plumage have a dark reddish brown back that contrasts with a yellowish head, neck, and breast. Although typically solitary, large numbers often gather where food is plentiful.

The Little Egret (Egretta garzetta) remains a quintessential subject for wildlife photographers across Telangana’s vibrant wetland ecosystems. Often referred to locally as Chinna Tella Konga, these graceful herons provide a dynamic photography experience as they "dance" through the shallows of urban and rural lakes.

Finding and photographing the Streaked Weaver (Ploceus manyar) is an exercise in exploring vibrant wetland ecosystems. Often overshadowed by the more common Baya Weaver, the Streaked Weaver is a resident species specialized in reedy habitats near water bodies. I found and photographed these weavers near the banks of the Godavari River. The massive Sri Ram Sagar Reservoir serves as a critical habitat for various bird species, especially during the monsoon and winter months.

Kantegaon Lake, in Boath Buzurg, offers a serene escape from city light pollution, providing a magnificent, unobstructed view of the cosmos. One can expect to see a sky full of shining stars and during its season, on clear nights, potentially the Milky Way.

Camping at the lakeside is a popular activity, allowing for a peaceful overnight stay in well-maintained, clean tents with cozy amenities. The experience is often complemented by a warm campfire and a barbecue dinner, where friends and family can share stories and laughter in a tranquil, natural environment. The quiet atmosphere of the lake, away from urban noise, ensures a truly relaxing retreat, with the soothing sounds of water and nature enhancing the experience. These organized camps even offer guided stargazing sessions with powerful telescopes and expert naturalists.

What promised to be a spectacular celestial event turned into a cloudy and frustrating two-night affair on Oct 21 and 22. Despite ideal conditions coinciding with the new moon and the Orionid meteor shower, the rare appearance of two distinct comets, C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) and C/2025 R2 (SWAN), was ultimately obscured by inclement weather over areas in and around Hyderabad. The Orionid meteor shower too peaked on the same nights.
