VISIT TO YALA YET AGAIN.....

I was in Yala again in the last week of  July 2016 with my family my cousins family( who lives in Dubai) and a family known to her. We had a great time and to top it off we were able to see and photograph many animals and birds.



We saw this one on our first visit in the afternoon .

This was the icing  on the  cake .This was at 6a.m. on the 2nd day and the first time I saw the Bear facing me and coming towards us . It was quite unperturbed and oblivious to the presence of many vehicles and many had to reverse and give way as it went about doing the thing.

May be a friendly fight....

Eurasian Thick nee

We were waiting for this  Leopard to cross a little further up and went looking the other way .Two minutes later he had crossed and we were lucky this time as we returned  it crossed  again.

Eurasian  Hoope

This one  we saw just before we returned to "Varahana" bungalow( in which  were staying) in the evening and the lighting was very poor.

This was the  last sighting in the morning of the last day.
