Dear Friends,

I have blogged the best photos @ http://diversityindia.blogspot.com/2009/12/butterflyindia-photo-of-year-2009.html do check them out. There were so many emails, that I might have forgotten to post some photos. Please send me a personal email to letme know.

And those who have sent pictures, without story behind the photo, please do so. I enjoy the stories equally as photographs.

Youwaraj, I am willing to us your moon moth photo as Moth Photo of Year 2009. I hope that is fine with you.

Waiting eagerly for photos from remaining members.

Regards,

Vijay

Hi Vijay n All around

Does that mean that the mails circulated here are NOT seen by rest of the Mody's????? I agree with you reg. sending such mails to the higher ups who moderate this mailing group but this can be avoided in this group and interested people can be contacted directly instead of using this discussion platform for purposes similar to this.

My humble opinion but may be 'm wrong. But agree with those around here in circulating commercial mails in this forum for discussion dear friend.

Thank you in advance n Merry Christmas n Happy New Year to everyone

Sincerely

NO

Dry season forms of Browns have huge no of variations. You can get many more varieties of them especially of Common Evening Browns.
You should have upper wing photos to id the species correctly. Experts can throw more light on it.

BANDHAVGARH WILD SAFARI / PHOTO TOUR

Discover a magical world set amid the ancient Vindhyan Hills, guarded by an ancient fort, teeming with breathtaking wildlife. The moist deciduous forest of Bandhavgarh is dominated by Sal trees in some areas while bamboo and open grasslands predominate in the northern region in the park. The Park has a core area of 105 sq km and a buffer area of approximately 400 sq km. The topography varies between steep ridges, undulating landscapes, sal forest and open meadows.

Bandhavgarh National Park has the reputation of having the highest density of tigers in the world. There are more than 22 species of mammals and 250 species of birds including Yellow-wattled Lapwing, Black Stork, Lesser Adjutant, Grey-headed Fishing Eagle, and four species of Vultures. Common Langurs and Rhesus Macaque represent the primate group. Carnivores include the Asiatic Jackal, Bengal Fox, Sloth Bear, Ratel, Grey Mongoose, Wild Dogs, Jungle Cat, Leopard and ofcourse, the Tiger. The artiodactyls frequently sighted are Wild Pigs, Spotted Deer, Sambar and Nilgai.

This Safari/Photo Tour promises to go beyond ordinary tourism and entails discussions on the Park, the tigers' Family Trees, Conservation and not to forget, Wildlife Photography.

Hello,

Yes I agree a bit. A few of us do work for wildlife travel organisations, but we have always tried not to send a commercial programme information on this group.
