Bird Watching
Bird Watching
Sometimes I like to get my hands dirty (literally, but not intentionally) while I am out watching birds. This photo of me was taken by my friend when we were searching the Pacific Golden Plovers.

Macro Photography is what keeps me sane, especially during the COVID-19 Pandemic. I fell in love with Macro Photography during the lockdown
Bug Hunting
Bug Hunting
Very often, I go out for bushwalks or just take a stroll in a nearby garden during the night with just a flashlight and my mobile phone. Nighttime is the best time to spot amazing bugs because the day-active bugs are sleeping/less active and the nocturnal bugs are active. I took this selfie in my backyard in Mumbai when I saw Blue Mormon just casually resting on a plant with its wings spread.
