Our second safari tour was early on monday morning…we started at 7.30……best chance to see nocturnal animals….more precise the tiger…
when you see flowers like this at 8 in the morning it makes you smile….
this tour was zone 8 …yesterday we where in zone 6….
a female nilgai early in the morning..beautiful animals..
one of the first thing we heard was the sound of horns clicking together…two spotted deer males fighting..kind of cool to hear and see...
to bad they where hiding behind the bushes…then the hunt for tigers started…we talked to a man who came on a motorbike who told us to go another route…so we did and we found these...
so they had passed here right before….a mother with cubs….the prints are huge….to bad we couldn't put something on the ground to compare….a little up a head we saw some more prints …then the climb
up a steeeeeeep hill began…all in search of the tigers...
we think we drove about a hundred meters…what felt like straight up into the mountains…what a view…..incredible scenery…
and suddenly we saw all these plum headed parakeets…gorgeous and colourful...
a male and a female…
you really need to keep your eyes open and pay attention because sometimes the animals just merge with nature….like this male gazelle….he just lay there all still still…I didn't see him move…
I know I know….I need to work with my camera a little bit more…I have a new one and I'm not really buddy with it yet….
on the top we stopped and got out of the jeep….in tiger territory !!! because no tigers so far...
but the view,,,,amazing….but cold up here…
went down a bit and found out that the sloth bears like this fruit….can't remember the name !?
a black shouldered kite flew by and settled in a tree close by…beautiful bird…
then we saw this little guy….hmmm,my memory is playing tricks with me here….
we saw lots of partridges…so cute when they run on the ground….it's like a little ball with feet...
this familiar profile was sitting in the tree...
yes, it was a king vulture….reminded me of the jungle book…then it took off….
the wing span on this bird is impressive...
he was pretty far away though…
yes we did see lots of birds ….
Mr peacock with family….
crossed the road….
no tigers this time but we really enjoyed the trip anyhow…we did get to see leopard…and to see the paw prints from the tiger right after she walked there….hmm….cleaner air than in Delhi….beautiful scenery and just being out in nature…we will go back for sure….if you want to see more from Rajasthan….be sure to check in on my next post….
to all of you…
HAPPY NEW YEAR !
