Clicked this image in the Wetland near Balia village in Koraput, Odisha. I was there at the wetland for a short birding trip when I saw this beautiful bird perched up on this branch. The perch and the early morning light was simply perfect for making this image. The wetland I am talking about are among the very few natural wetlands existing in Koraput district. Once upon a time this wetland attracted many migratory birds and the swamps were full of life. Marsh crocodiles were numerous here as well. But with time the wetland has been eaten up by paddy fields and the toxic chemical residues from near by fields flow into the swamp. Human greed is sucking the life blood out of this once beautiful , full of life wetland which is destined to die a silent death.
