Haven't visited the Mangroves of Andamans and Nicobar Islands or Bhitarkanika ? Have visited these exquisite havens ?
Mangrove Vol 2 - Bhitarkanika and Andaman Islands by Dr Debal Sen is a must have for both of you. It states the very important role of Mangroves in the Ecosystem. By their luring quality, the images transport the reader to these magical places. Hear the song of the whimbrels and their flapping wings at take off or stay mesmerized staring at the creek flowing into the far off sea. The mangroves hold the central spot in the narratives and images but its protagonist is the crocodile, the silent terror lurking to stealthily strike at every opportunity. Dr Sen's camera presents amazing angles of the creature. The little green heron is a show stopper as is the majestic white bellied sea eagle. Each image conveys the pristine beauty of the habitat - sunrise in mists, sunsets colouring the monsoon clouds, pied and brown winged kingfishers on their perches, the breathtaking orange breasted green pigeon, mysterious lily pond amongst the mangroves.
Images of the Andamans, with white sands and myriad shades of blue and infinite vistas will make the viewer lost in them. The Pacific sea heron is captivating and the Ruddy Kingfisher that the author has been in search of for two decades, is riveting. The dying corals appeal to the sensitivity of the children of the Earth, to be caring, nurturing and protecting of its immense treasure.
