My First Solo Birding Attempt
​
It was 7th January 2025, after 4 months of practice with my new NIKON camera shooting birds from my Flat's windows and walking around the premises with its many trees and birds, I plucked up my courage to venture out solo to a birding location I had read about but not visited - the wetlands and Mangroves near TS Chanakya - in Mumbai. The haul of pictures was exciting and I had picked my first birding location wisely as water birds tend to move slowly and are easier for a novice photographer to hone his skills. Besides the location had brush and vegetation between the water and the narrow path and therefore had some coast and land birds too. I repeated the visit on 7th February to catch the birds I missed on the first trip. Scroll to see pictures:
