 One of the most picturesque landscapes in Panna National Park is the gorge called Dhundwa seha, which boasts of different birds like the Griffons, Long billed vultures,
Egyptian vultures, Blue rock pigeons, dusky crag martin etc. This gorge is also home to a pair of Peregrine falcons which we often see. On one of my visit with guests, we could constantly...

 Today, in the morning when every one was looking at a tiger crossing the road, a Red Wattled Lapwing got alarmed near a pool of water close by the road. When we looked at the pool, a Otter was dabbling in it to everyone's surprise. We were hardly prepared to handle the surprise and positioned the vehicle near to the pool. It was a Smooth Coated Otter...

 I was not too long after we left the tigress, we spotted a small herd of Gaurs next to the road and then saw a pac of 5 wild dogs walking towards Gaurs and suddenly Gaurs started chasing dogs. It was a treat to watch.

 Watched this family of three playing in the grasslands before coming out on the road. Mostly seen solitary, seeing it with kittens was quite special.

 After a long gap Wild Dogs were sighted in the park. It was exciting to see this pack back into business. Soon after they were sighted, they started going into the meadow, most likely in search of prey. We didnt see them coming out in the open, so went back to the place where they were first sighted, as a Sambar was giving distress calls. Soon after we...

 This was our last day there and although we had seen tigers, nothing prepaired us for this close up encounter. Our whole aim to come to India was to see the tigers in the wild and in the WILD we did see them

 Identifying birds can be difficult, esp when there are very minute differences in species.
One such lesson I learnt was when we recorded the Orange Breasted Green Pigeon.
We had seen the Yellow Footed Green Pigeon on the drive but not a good view. Much later into the drive we saw another flock sitting on the canopy & we stopped to have a clearer look,...

 Saw a couple of Wild dogs moving into the thick undergrowth while a Sambar deer was giving frantic distress calls. Shortly afterward a big female came out stamping its feet from the bush with no Wild dogs following it. Guessing a smaller Sambar could be still in, we waited. A minute after that, we heard a lot of rustling in the undergrowth & a young...

 Saw this Leopard with a wild piglet kill on a tree. Seeing a leopard on a tree in Indian jungles is not as common as in Africa. A rare sighting in itself when you have this shy cat with a kill. This female stayed on the branch for a few minutes before disappearing into the thick undergrowth.
