Light after the storm

Lovely scape. Must have been great to be there. Im still dreaming of the day. Nothing big like tiger id settle for a Fishing cat instead.

Thanks Roopak, It was really very exciting to see this different landscape which changed in a few minutes. I think there was a sighting of fishing cat from the watch tower at night, but I didn't see it .

Yes,Madam Mrudul.On 06.04.2012 night after dinner I was sitting on the watch tower inside the Sajnekhali Tourist Lodge compound with one young Navy Officer both listening to the call of the Nightjars.
At around 11.30 p.m, suddenly one Fishing Cat appeared from the remote right corner entering the nylon netting, walked past us below slowly, looking at us once with a head turn without changing the pace,went towards the left corner where a water tank is being renovated.

Roopak Bhai,you have the right luck, you may see it in Sajnekhali itself. Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

my god this is a such a nice coincidence. I was trying to sound funny and bang it comes true and whats more happens to be someone we all know. A fishing cat to my knowledge is such a rarity., atleast that is the case for most of the country.

Shakti Sab so happy to hear that you are the one who saw it.Have you had sightings before? Did u get a picture?? frankly i wuld be thousand times more happier to see a fishing cat than a tiger.

Roopak,
The previous day we sighted a civet running and passing through the net. That was before evening. Again no photos.

ok. I can't resist it anymore. We saw a king cobra swimming. Got nearly half a minute of usable footage.
