Arun, I am always so pleased to see photos of wildlife from South India. I had no access to anything like PN when I lived there. I didn't even have a camera of my own. Would have got wonderful creatures big and small, especially from Kodaikanal on Summer hols. Maybe when Mark & I visit next time.
It's been great meeting you too... and thanks for your posts.
