Hey Mates, Get your Machine Guns ready to Shoot... as we at Trek Mates India take you to shoot one of the most beautiful bird of Sahyadris
an absolutely stunning little bird, sporting bright yellow, red, and bluish-black plumage - The Oriental Dwarf Kingfisher also known as the Black-backed Kingfisher or Three-toed Kingfisher is a species of bird in the Alcedinidae family. This is a widespread resident of lowland forest, endemic across much of the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia.
Water plays an important role in their lives-- they breed during the very wet monsoon season and they feed on aquatic animals.
And we would be happy if we get to click this beauty at our Photography tour to Chiplun on 25th - 26th July 2015 (Starting on 24th July)

IMPORTANT NOTES :
- Being peak monsoon season, rains will play a very important role for conducting the trip as per planned schedule. In case of heavy rains, participants need to be patient till the climate gets clear.
- This particular trip will be conducted under guidance of experts who are working for the conservation of these animals at this particular location from years.
- The forest where we are going to roam around is a privately owned sacred grove (Forest devoted to Gods), so one has to maintain its respect in all sense
- ODKF is a very sensitive bird and hence the photography will be done one by one using the hides set out there. We will be dividing participants in teams to reduce over crowding at a particular area. One has to STRICTLY follow the instructions given by leaders and experts. Any misbehavior which can cause damage to wildlife will result in termination of your participation right at that moment.
- It is not a nesting photography trip, so if you are looking for some cake walk photography, you are not welcome.
- 10% of the tour cost will be diverted towards the conservation initiates taken at this sacred grove, those who wish to donate more can handover the amount directly to the owner of this campsite on meeting.
