[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This pair of birds have started nesting in the Ranganathittu Bird sanctuary near Mysore. I saw one of them flying off the nest and returniong back soon. But missed the oppertunity, since i was far off. But i had observed them doimng the same. I found it, that if one of the bird loose the foothold, it vcannot turn, since the Sticks on the nest is quite loose. Hence, they leave the nest and come back and land on the different part of the nest. So, i got this picture ( series of pictures) when one of them landing on the nest. I waited for4 Half an hour to get this shot.

Very nice photo, very god moment!

namaste Satish
I would have entitled " get out of my way" !!
I feel that the second stork and the cormoran are quite confident with the landing!
Impressive action shot anyway, quite sharp and very instructive
