Rahul The Rover

He comes every morning.

Tap… tap… tap…

On the glass.
On the wooden walls.
On the silence we built over what once belonged to the wild.

There are trees everywhere, yet he chooses this spot again and again.

Maybe he isn’t lost.
Maybe he remembers.

Maybe long before this became a homestay for human escape, it was already a home — his home.

And like so many innocent creatures, he never learned the language of ownership, boundaries, or construction.

He only came back to where life once felt familiar.

And somehow, that hurts more than the sound of his knocking ever could.

In the fierce grace of an osprey mid-flight, clutching its silver prize, lies a quiet lesson of nature—precision honed by instinct, patience rewarded by the hunt, and the eternal rhythm where survival becomes poetry written across the sky.”

Sunset is beautiful, because it brings Hope for a New morning & New sun..

Special thanks Seikh for holding the boat, so we can get this moment even though it was late.

“In a sea of liquid sunset, serenity learns to swim.

Stork-billed Kingfisher —
a blazing ember of wings bursts from the still water,
carrying a silver secret in its beak,
while time pauses to watch the poetry of a single splash.

Perched between silence and flight,
a tiny king holds the balance of the world.
One wing rests, the other remembers the sky—
a quiet reminder that even in stillness,
freedom is never far away.

The Australian Boobook and the New Zealand Morepork (Ninox novaeseelandiae, often called ruru) are very closely related, small brown owl species, with the Boobook often referred to by the name "morepork" or "mopoke" due to their similar, iconic two-note calls. Both are small (approx. 25-35 cm), nocturnal, and known for their brown, speckled plumage and yellow eyes, though they are now considered distinct species.

“Proof that patience always pays… sometimes with wings wide open.”

A Pond Heron frozen mid-action, wings fully stretched as it lands its catch. The splash, the fish in the beak, and that green in the background — everything lines up to tell a raw wildlife story.

Special Thanks to Rahul Seikh & Saibul sekh da. Thanks to the boss Soumyajit Maitra for great practical advice & guidance, and lots of love n care for my two buddies without whom such a wildlife trip never planned Gargi Mitra & Bipasha Ganguly
