Join me on my Jungle walks down Tiger Path Mt.Abu

My Jungle Walks Down Tiger Path

There’s something magical about a walk down Tiger Path. The air is crisp and clean, filling my lungs with the pure essence of the jungle. In the distance, the rolling hills, blanketed with dense Spongi and Plummies trees, paint a comforting canvas of green against the misty sky. This lush landscape, teeming with life, is more than just a backdrop; it’s a sanctuary that calls to the nostalgic naturalist in me.
The thrill of birdwatching and the innocent joy of hunting for bird nests are still alive in my soul. As I tread this path, I’m reminded of the delicate balance nature holds. As I tread this path, I capture moments with my camera - snapshots of birds in their serene habitat - ensuring I do not disturb any nests or harm these precious creatures. It’s a promise to the dwindling bird population, a silent vow to protect what remains.
Tiger Path is more than just a walk; it’s a journey back to the roots of my love for nature, a reminder of the respect and care that these wild spaces deserve.

Nest in the afternoon around 1.30pm

Day two interior decoration day 8.30pm

I stumbled upon this little sunbird building its nest on the Jamun tree in our garden on the 30th of May. The little one kept darting to and fro and in a jiffy, she had her nest going great guns. She completed the main structure from about 7.3 0am to 5.30 pm. Not once did I see the male sunbird give a helping hand, it does sound familiar, especially in this part of the world.
Day two and three went into the interior decoration of the nest; carefully chosen soft feathers and lovely silky threads went into this master craftsman’s abode. Today I had a peek at the nest all seemed quite on the western front, she’s probably incubating her eggs. I still haven’t see the male around, is she a modern bird I wonder ‘a single mother’! Will post some more on her as and when I get the time. Happy viewing
