Since a Week.....

It's been a week after my Naturalists training camp @ JLR Bannerghata. This camp has been an eye opener. Not that i was dumb before, just that it has thought me to look into details, observe, recognize things, document etc etc. It was also a great place, made new friends got to meet some wonderfull guys like Karthik and Anaconda Ashwin, naturalist @ Dubare. The first day first hour in camp was really boring with those intro sessions and do's n don'ts. Then fun started post lunch session with actual intro to birds and the nature walk was a icing on the cake. Believe me after this the days went so fast, it was like a flash, two and a half days seemed like a moment. Felt real bad as the training ended, actually wanted to stay more, learn more but all good things have to come to an end. Neways for a person who thought all birds are relatives of either the crow or the sparrow it was certainly a Great experience. One bad experience though, lost most of my pics as I accidentally formatted my Data bank, though I tried to recover this using some third party software but could not recover the majority :-(
