We drove south from Bangalore to see the Barachukki waterfalls on the Cauvery (Kaveri) river. The falls were nearly dry, but Smaranda, who always reads those “ten things to do around Bangalore” websites, noticed an item about a pelican preserve.
The pelican preserve was simply a village in whose trees lots of pelicans and storks like to roost. So we had to walk through people’s back yards to get good close-ups. But our timing was good — the light was perfect!
