Protecting birds

Bird watchers and bird lovers should remember that any disturbance can cause harm to the birds.  This is due to intrusion into their habitats. An opportunity to photograph birds should not lead to inadvertent destruction of the very environment that sustains the birds.

The world of birds needs to be preserved for the future generations. Birds lovers should make all efforts towards conserving nature and caring for all living beings. We have to ensure that the generations to come also have the pleasure of seeing birds in all their natural splendour. The goal to strive for is "RRRR" - REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE, RECOVER. We should also remember that the earth does not belong to us - we belong to the earth. Our carbon footprint has to be reduced. We should consume less of the non-essentials. The goal is sustainable development.
Photographs of common birds shall be uploaded on this blog, starting next week, and be made available on request - to spread awareness and information amongst all.

On my visit to Ooty, I visited Avalanche lake, which is in fact a lake formed by building the Emerald Dam. It is in the midst of a thick forest and tea garden. It was very peaceful and picturesque.
