There is some problem with the aspect ratio....Each pic is getting cropped on its own..

My Canon DSLR (1100D) and the newly acquired 55-250mm lens was biting dust since quite sometime. So I decided to shoot few pics of the abundant fauna which resides inside the beautiful and serene SGPGI, Lucknow Campus (the place where I live & work)...and believe me there are many more (foxes, monitor lizard, mongoose, snakes, hares etc etc) living freely & fearlessly
Enjoy...

Grey Francolin/Teetar

Red-wattled Lapwing

Red-wattled Lapwing chick which was hovering around it's mother...



Image








Handsome Blue bulls/Nilgai/Boselaphus tragocamelus



Image















Herd of Nilgai (female)




Image




The Alpha male..

Apart from the built, coloration and beard the most distinct difference is the presence of horns on the male blue bulls which helps in easy differentiation from their female counterparts..
