“It’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than to be absolutely boring.” – Marilyn Monroe
I must be nuts clicking birds in Masai Mara. Some other guides and big five seekers would sneer / guffaw / politely curse under their breath when they realized that we had stopped for a (damned) bird, unless the bird was an Ostrich. Who stops for other birds, specially in Mara or Serengiti !!
Well, big five draw big crowds and big bucks, but these lesser mortals too contribute to the entire ecosystem in their own ways and make the Jungle Book complete.
Here are some birds from Msasai Mara (Kenya), Serengiti (Tanzania) and Ngoro Ngoro (Tanzania).
These are just a handful few which I was lucky to see. There are countless others, I am yet to see – next trip maybe. However, I do hope that you would enjoy watching the birds as much as a cheetah or a giraffe.
Just in case you think that I totally skipped the big five, do spare some time for my other stories !
Happy Birding !!
Beautiful clicks as always sir ??
Some great captures
Thank you @Shikha. Pleasure sharing.
Very true, we miss the smaller joys and beauty in a bid to look at big animals as well as events in life.
Awesome pics
