PS. It stayed there for 1-2 min. But then one branch was obstructing from where I was sitting quiet for this beauty. When I moved to click the bird. I could manage only two shots.... That too I consider not of good quality....

Dear ShaktiDa..... what a pity, unfortunatly when hard Disk of my earlier Laptop crashed I lost all my photos... I know there is no substitute for Ganpatipule beach.... still posting Another beach of Jaigad .... 15 km away from Ganpatipule.

This one is dedicated to ShaktiDa with the promise of Ganpatipule snap in my next Ratnagiri trip....
