Nice to see it with a catch. The eye contact is nice. What time was this photographed? The light seems a bit harsh. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely image of the wagtail Atul. The catch also is nicely seen here. The vegetation also looks interesting. Is it a swamp or a field? Agree about the light.Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Shaktipada, Mrudul and Murigan.

This image was captured at 10.42 a.m.

This is a portion of river Mula that has been completely covered by floating vegetation (Pistia Stratiotes). Its not floating anymore though.

You need a 600mm.

Sad to see this stretch of the river. Sharing an IndiaWilds article for some relevant information for our members and readers: The Death Of a Waterbody (http://www.indiawilds.com/diary/the-death-of-a-waterbody-2/)
