Interesting behaviour photographed. They catch from the water or the ones in the mud? Thanks for sharing.

The 'Sundarbans profile' is nicely framed in this photo. The clayish sand, the exposed vegetation in the low tide, the shoreline - all adds to the beauty of the area. Nice pose by the fellow on his two feet.

thanks for sharing

Lovely capture of, unknown to many behaviour, of monkeys in tidal halophytic mangrove forest visible roots in background and foreground Bidya river. Thanks for sharing.

Were you lucky to see the Phantom of Sundarban

Interesting. All these creatures have loved to adapt to the their environment. The crabs being more in number have found a good predator. Last time I got one chewing a chicken feet. Hope to get a close up of these fellows chewing a crab. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
