Kabini Wild walk/birding (Day2)

To continue with second day of Kabini,

Sunday morning. Just imagine coming to senses early in morning. But i was determined for it on previous night itself. I was the last to get up from the bed, It was 5.50 in the morning, Every one aggroup were up & getting ready. I managed to catch up with the timings somehow, It was safari time again, by 6.20 we were all in safari  jeep, &  not the alone this time, 2 young beautiful outlander ladies with us ;). All of us were highly optimistic to sight a leopard this time. But we were not lucky enough, although some other jeeps (JLR safaris)  sighted a leopard same day ;). Some more sightings from safari.

Kabini Wild walk/birding (Noon of Day1)

Continuing with previous post,
As i said, we were badly tired & drowsy at the same time, we reached Bison. Bison owned by very interesting person(Shaaz), especially his accent(more of non-Indian). And also just amazing wild stories of cats he sighted at Kabini.
We just relaxed a bit, As we saw and heard from Shaaz, two spotted owlet home in near by tree.

Spotted Owlet.
Owlet was pretty daring and posing for photoshoot. It was sarrounded by 6 photographers ;) It not even bothered for camera flashes. Bravo !!
Then we headed to dining, had nice lunch. By then, what we were frightened of from previous day was about to happen, Yes it started drizzling, the clouds had victory over sun "the source of light". Though our enthusiasm for safari was still intact. We made sure our camera gears does not get hurt  by rain falls and headed to safari.
On the way to safari i realized, how fstop 5.6 may tun disastorus in case of low lights. Low source of light, rain, higher fstop lens, lens without IS, halnd held shots, guess what, I was facing all of them, it was getting extremely difficult to shoot with all them as the day was progressing towords dark. I literally missed some nice shots of elephant action :(. Nevertheless i was not very disappointed kind a jovial and safari was good deal.
Some of sightings and what i could capture among.

Care for each other ;)
