Tadoba

We visited Tadoba in December 2019, a short while before the world went into lockdown. Tadoba is one of the smaller wildlife sanctuaries, which gives tourists a distinct advantage of a higher probability of tiger sightings. That said, I never thought I would get to see mating tigers.

Mating tigers, who'd have thunk that!!!

The agony and the ecstasy!

We stayed at the Irai Safari Retreat, a beautiful resort with well appointed cottages.

Ghost tree: Often fluorescent on a full moon night

Pond heron

Always find a tree like this in every sanctuary, I've visited

Wistful...

... and shy!

The pond heron fluffing its feathers

Pair of green bee-eaters on a branch

The intense gaze of tiger Tala...

... can freeze human blood! (Ol' jungle saying)

A lone sambhar, watchful...

A stork on a green carpet

Tala, basking in the warmth of the winter sun

Sitting pretty on the rocks

Bee-eater taking off

A red-wattled lapwing

Settling down

Another mating session

Lonely pond lily

Jump start

Tigress Maya glancing....

... as tiger Tala walks away!

Chital crossing

Sitting ducks

Storks in flight

Glide above the water

Tiger Matkasur cooling off!
