Purple rumped sunbird finding food after rain

Purple tree crab is one among the 41 species of fresh water crabs from Western Ghats of India, to be found in water logged tree trunks during monsoon. Colour of this crab is most fascinating adoption of Java plum fruit in which they mostly habitat.

Following image was made post monsoon at ranthambhore National Park which is mostly round the year dry rocky habitat but post monsoon for little while this forest is lush green which makes it perfect backdrop for any photographer to click the apex predator of the forest.

Endemic to few locations in Western Ghats, this endangered species of frog is known as Resplendence Shrub Frog and indeed it goes with it's name. This frog is to be found on highest elevation of Western Ghats where no civilisation is to be seen around like No mans land. One of the most difficult frog to be seen and photograph.

Dhole or Asiatic wild Dog

A small heron that is common in most aquatic habitats across the Indian subcontinent. Adults in breeding plumage have a dark reddish brown back that contrasts with a yellowish head, neck, and breast. In nonbreeding plumage they are virtually indistinguishable from nonbreeding Chinese Pond-Heron. In flight, adults appear surprisingly white due to their strikingly white wings, underparts, and tail. Although typically solitary, large numbers often gather where food is plentiful. Prone to seasonally local movements and vagrancy

Medium-sized eagle with massive rounded wings. Appears very small-headed in flight. Name is slightly misleading, as there are only really two color morphs, pale and black. Pale-morph adult is dark brown above with a white breast overlaid with dark streaks. Juvenile is much paler, with cleaner white underparts and less extensive striping and barring anywhere on the body. Dark morph is dark all over with paler outer wing feathers, and can be mistaken for dark Honey-Buzzards; look out for the hawk-eagle’s much longer wings and more slender profile. Inhabits forests, forest edges, and expansive parks and plantations.
