Pink Perfection!

Lesser flamingo in first light.

The intense deep pink to crimson colour of a Lesser Flamingo comes from carotenoid pigments in algae like Spirulina. Without this diet, they would turn pale or whitish grey.

Thread-waisted Wasp taking a moment to rest. Its unique shape and beautiful colors make it a fascinating subject in entomology.

A peaceful morning spent watching an Eurasian Coot and its companions drift through glass like waters.

Sometimes, even the commoner looks breathtaking in the right light. This bird reminded me that beauty in the wild was never about rarity. Only about learning to truly see.

During our last macro walk, we explored some forest patches in Thiruvallur district. The ground was fully covered with dry leaves. “So every step made noise ;)”

That’s when @the_nocturnal_guy_ spotted a small gecko sitting quietly on a leaf, almost blending in. We went closer slowly and realised it was an Irula gecko

a lifer for us!

The pattern on its back slightly resembles a Russell’s viper, which is pretty cool.

The Irula gecko is recently discovered and named after the Irula tribe of Tamil Nadu, who are well known for their deep knowledge of forests and wildlife. This species is described as endemic to Thiruvallur, Kancheepuram & Chengalpattu region.

Really a good night for us.
