2009… with basic camera equipment, #Nikon D50, 70–300 f4.5–5.6, even more basic skills, in foggy winter, this was going to be challenging
But water levels were good that year, a rare occurrence those days… birds showed up… the resident & vulnerable Sarus was still rare…
Other residents were more obliging…
Even if they were done with busy night shifts, they didn’t want to be rude hosts, apparently…
Human visitors stirred some curiosity among otherwise-hidden dwellers…
Some went about their business with nonchalance…Clearly, there was no time to be lost.
Even the most reclusive and taciturn decided to just about tolerate us. Even if a 90mm Macro lens was being pointed at their nose.
Some gracious ones entertained too…
Time for a revisit, perhaps? To renew acquaintances?
