In 1974, Bannerghatta (in Karnataka, India) was declared a National Park. In 2002, part of the park was declared a Biological Park (I sense you questioning the difference and I urge you to move on). In 2017, I visited and declared the park spectacular! For 3 days, occasionally cramped up in a bird hide for hours at a stretch, I made a study of bird (and squirrel) photography. I also lost a pair of shoes to torrential rain. I left wondering if wrist weight-training is a thing – camera lenses are heavy beasts!

Superb…as always!
In magical pix and mirthful words
You paint for us, O wizard
Portraits of most delightful birds
And even an odd meditative lizard
