Nilgiri Tahr......Eravikulam

Only around 2000 Nilgiri Tahrs remain in the world and most of them live in Eravikulam NP near Munnar.One from the archives.....

I dont know whether this is a record thread as I havn't seen a picture of a Nilgri Tahr on India Wilds......!

Nikon FM2,Nikkor 300mm lens(Other details not available)

Nice capture for a record shot.
I have been dreaming of capturing these on frame , however luck has been eluding me all the while. :)

The sharpness seems overdone and the white balance and saturation look out of place

Nice image. I liked the eye contact. Agree with the above comments. Would have liked some more space on the right.

There have been a few images of Nilgiri Tahr in IndiaWilds, here is a link to one image posted by Sabyasachi -

Thanks for sharing. Look forward to more.

Good to see a Nilgiri Tahr after a long time. I had posted a few last year. It seems the scanning has resulted in changing the colours.

Cheers,

I like the angle. Agree about the changes due to the scan. Nice image nonetheless. Thanks for sharing.

Nice capture, have not photographed, infact not sighted this

Thanks Mrudul for giving the link to the pic published by Sabyasachi.My thread is not a record.......

Good to see a tahr.

This species is the only goat antelope south of Himalaya.
