Documenting common bird species of Western ghats, with a focus on behaviour and habitat, has been the main intention; photography/videography are just one of the easiest (not necessarily most efficient!) ways to accomplish that. These winged, feathered, warm blooded animals of mesmerizing locomotion, plumage, vocalization and behaviour are not merely a spectacle, but a reliable indication itself, of the health of any ecosystem. It should be noted however, not only photo/video – dedicated observations, detailed field notes , meaningful audio recordings etc are equally important and encouraged.
