This photo essay, the second in a 3-part series on Bhadra, is a compilation of some amazing images taken by participants of our Wildlife Photography Workshop at Bhadra in March. Read Part 1: River Terns and Pratincoles
Bhadra Reservoir is not just about River Terns and Small Pratincoles. On a boat ride along the reservoir, we came across many other wonders. Click on the images to view them in their original size in a slideshow.

Indian Cormorants are also common on the Reservoir. This one seems to be saying “Come into my arms”. Photo by Sahana Vasudevan
It’s not just the birds. Often encountered are Marsh Crocodiles basking on the exposed banks. They are also easily startled, like this one photographed in the nick of time. The very next second, it had disappeared into the water. Photograph by Sahana Vasudevan
