As part of the ongoing WaterFest 23, we have been visiting various initiatives by communities in the PVAC (Puducherry, Villupuram, Auroville, Cuddalore) bioregion of South India and on 18th Feb we visited a small village called Udalapattu in the revenue village of Keezh Kumaramangalam in Cuddalore District of Tamilnadu (more about that later).
On the way, we stopped at the Mel Azhinjipattu village on the banks of the Malattar river and the images are from the river - which is more of a small channel now - obviously since we are in Feb and the summer has already kicked in. This particular bird was pausing for my camera and I could not resist.
