return of the native...

[Jim Manjooran]

this is from February of this year...
Spotted this Common Stonechat, at another wetland area here at Carambolim..the Dhado Wetlands is so much bigger than the Carambolim Lake..and is a swamp like area...full of waterways, mangroves and all the desirable ecosystems needed for thriving wildlife...mudpaths cut through this swamp and villagers use this area for traditional occupations without disturbing the natives......more to follow in Natural History..

The Common Stonechat never fails to return here during the early months of the year and is one of my favorites.. because of the vibrant color palette.....
