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.

In Telangana, finding the Purple Heron (Ardea purpurea) often requires patient observation in dense, freshwater wetlands like those near the Ameenpur Lake or the Manjeera Wildlife Sanctuary. Unlike the bolder Gray Heron, this species is a master of camouflage within reed beds.

The Desert Wheatear, a small passerine bird that is generally considered to be an Old World flycatcher, is a migratory insectivorous species. It is a small dark-winged bird found in dry, open areas with sparse vegetation frequently seen perched up on posts, telephone lines, and rock mounds.

Abscondita chinensis, a captivating species of firefly belonging to the family Lampyridae and subfamily Luciolinae, is a luminous wonder native to tropical Asia. Known for its remarkable bioluminescent displays, particularly during its mating season, it plays a vital role in its ecosystem as a predator and contributes to the charm of natural environments. It lives in various habitats, and its bioluminescence, especially during mating, adds a magical quality to its existence. However, threats from pollution and climate change highlight the need for conservation efforts to protect this insect. These were photographed in Telangana.

Each time you enter the jungles of central India you are in the realm of some of the most varied wildlife in India. This time we were out searching for the reclusive Teer/ Arrowhead - named by Ajinder Singh for the distinct arrow or “teer” on his forehead. Born in February 2023, he was one of 3 cubs from the 5th litter of the Legendary Talabwali Tigress with Zanjeer.

The Asilidae are the robber fly family, also called Assassin Flies. It is one of the largest families in Diptera Brachycera. The adults and larvae are predaceous on other insects, especially on plant-feeding insects, and thus help in the natural control of insects. They are world wide in distribution, represented by about 5000 species belonging to over 400 genera. Only about 750 species under 80 genera are known from the Oriental Region, of which 300 species and 45 genera are from India. Stenopogon is a genus in the family Asilidae with at least 200 described species. Today is about one of them from the Kawal Tiger Reserve.

The elusive leopard, a ghost of the forests, is often hailed as its most elegant dweller. The area around the Tipai Mata temple in Tipeshwar is a compact patch of dense forest cover with a number of old and mature trees and is prime habitat for leopards. It was about 7am on the morning of 8th June when we got word of this leopard lazing in a tree just below the mandir.

A chunky brown songbird with a weak crest, typically found on the ground in open fields and meadows. Darker above than below, with fine black streaking on the chest and light chestnut ear coverts with dark border. Very similar to the Eurasian Skylark, with which it shares much of its range, but Oriental has buffy, not white, outer tail edges and trailing edge of wing. Breeding males “skylark,” singing a series of variable notes while hovering high above the territory.
