A waterbird on a rainy day!


Anna and I watched a crane on this water body on our way an back to hospital. It was raining most of the day. It had changed its location, but was perhaps persevering to find its catch!


Although a crane cannot be marooned, it can find it hard to find its food during heavy rain and flood. 

I go to know about a water bird feeding party who visits waterbodies during heavy rain to feed the water birds.

It is refreshing to be aware of the different, environment protection pro-active measures, volunteers undertake!

Ms Medha Patkar and some others are on hunger strike currently in Gujarat, to protest against the unmindful acts of the government towards those whose houses are submerged due to increasing the height of the dam across Narmada. It is another volunteer action to increase awareness about yet another environmental hazard!

The environment is our larger home! All living being are our neighbours!
