A small drongo with a dull-black back & a relatively short, distinctively forked tail. The “white-bellied” form has an extensively white belly diffusely demarcated from the dark gray throat and breast. It is found in dry and open forests across the Indian subcontinent.

An adaptable medium-sized songbird of open areas and a common sight as a familiar dark silhouette perched on wires, fences, or snags. Uniform black plumage flashes blue and green iridescence in favorable light. A pugnacious species, frequently chasing away larger birds with repeated dives and harsh chattering calls. A skilled mimic of other species, and a strong songster in general, delivering a wide range of pleasant fluty calls, harsh chattering, nasal notes, and high sharp whistles.

Where the Godavari breathes, ancient Muggers glide through shadows of gold & grit. A haunting prayer for a future where they don’t just endure, but truly belong. 🐊✨

Muggers in the Godavari are surviving, not adapting. Pollution & mining threaten these ancient reptiles. We owe them a future, not a struggle.

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.

In the dry deciduous forests and urban fringes of Telangana, few avian encounters are as boisterous as a meeting with the Jungle Babbler (Argya striata). Locally known in parts of India as "Seven Sisters" (Sat Bhai), these gregarious birds are the soundtrack of the subcontinent's woodlands, characterized by their constant, wheezy chatter and bustling social structure.

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.
