I went birding with the Delhi Bird group after a long time, we went to KG wetlands. I was thrilled to see the Osprey so close. My mother was also thrilled that she could take some great snaps. Now with winter over, most of these birds will be going back flying ten thousand kilometres.
After i came back home i was hoping if i could be one of them !! Or atleast enter into their body for sometime !!
