parrot encroachment

Hampi is a place where history meets nature however, man has messed with flora while fauna is relatively free despite the fact that flora and fauna compliment each other. If one has an eye for the winged creatures pleasant treats are guaranteed. Same with other forms of fauna like mammals and insects.

Here's one example of such a spotting parrots during my visit to Pattabhirama Devastana in Dec 2024. Though there were several parrots flying around noisily, I could capture just one since it was still and within the range of my Canon telephoto lens. It had perched on the temple's outer wall close to a small gap between the blocks. It looks like that tiny gap was the entrance to it's home. Probably there are a couple of chicks in there.

The following morning we got to see a pair of red-wattled lapwing on the banks of Tungabhadra at Chakrathirta.
