BR Hills

Billi Rangan Betta, 11th September, Anil & me, went on a 2 hr trek, 6:40 to 8:40 kinds, along with 2 guides from Jungle Lodges. Overcast sky, misty conditions, a wet forest, thick green vegetation, animals seemingly just out of your eye-reach, various calls.




A bison skull, an old tiger kill.


Fungi ??
Tender leaves, wonder why they are red ??
Gaint wood spider.
Unidentified spider.
Mushroom from the bark of a tree.
Wow! this was the find of the trek for me. A spider nest, in the form/size of a football, had over 50 spiders. Bad light conditions, the whight specks are spiders.
Mushroom/Fungi/Lichens.

Yes, pug mark of a tiger. And closeby was the remains of its kill. The hooves & legs of a deer. It was roating & lotz of fly's were stuck to it. The guides said, it must be a one day old kill.

A lovely little trek, pity it was just 2 hrs. Walking in a forest, with an element of surprise around the corner, itz an amazing feeling.

The spider you couldn't identify is Mrs. Spouty :). She used to live in my garage. City life stressed her and she went to live a peaceful life in the hills :))... BTW, the picture of the skull is scary...

Instead of writing description of pictures. why don't u create picture sequences. Especially pictures like these kind. It will be fun to figure out what exactly, your trying to say through ur pictures :)
