Grey Heron gulping the large fish! Hyderabad, India. Grey Herons can swallow surprisingly large fish, and the extremely flexible throats expand to accommodate. #aminpur #greyheron #canon #ardeacinerea #hyderabaddiaries by @va_manga

Philippine Tung Tree (Reutealis trisperma) Near Sanjeeviah park, SecunderabadToday I stumbled upon this tree; to stand near the beautiful tree is a blessing in itself. Drooping clusters of fragrant flowers are borne at the end of the branches; an ethereal display of ivory-white flowers with a tint of pink. The tree is nearly leafless except a few glossy, heart shaped leaves with unusually long leaf stalks. #sanjeeviahpark #springwatch #naturelover❤️ #treelove #reutealistrisperma by @va_manga

It was a serene and silent morning today in the park. And I had a delightful encounter with a Malabar Chestnut tree (Pachira aquatica). The tree was full of delicate, large, showy and fragrant flowers and large, woody, dark brown, oblong fruits. Each flower is an work of art with banana-peel-like petals and exserted yellowish orange stamensHyderabad, India#malabarchestnuttree #pachiraaquatica #parks #morningwalkscenes #hobbyphotograph by @va_manga
