About Guided Birding & Photography Workshops

Why I Do This

For me, bird photography means waiting, getting a little uncomfortable, sometimes even frustrated, but then suddenly - a rare bird appears, or a common one does something wild. I've had a Blue-throated Barbet land right above me, and a Black-winged Kite come close enough to hear its feathers. These moments aren’t just about snapping a photo, they're about seeing birds as they live, not just as pretty shapes.

What Happens in My Workshops

• I mix guided birdwatching with practical camera work out in the field. We'll look for everything from the chatty 'phoodki' (Plain Prinia) to raptors, and I'll help you spot and identify them - even rare migrants if we’re lucky.
• You'll learn basics and tricks of wildlife photography fieldcraft, like how to use morning light, frame shots with clean backgrounds, and catch a bird mid-flight or hunting.
• We talk about how birds help forests grow, what city life does to them, and the wild journeys migratory species take. Every bird tells a story, and we listen.

Where We Go

Mostly, I take people around Delhi-NCR: Aravalli scrublands, Najafgarh Jheel, Sultanpur National Park, and hidden corners in Gurgaon. Sometimes, I run special trips - Bhagalpur’s storks, or Himalayan summer expeditions for colorful species.

My Way in the Field

Main rule - bird pehle, photo baad (bird first, photo later). I show you how to get close without disturbing them. Sometimes, we just lie low and wait. It’s not always insta-perfect, but it’s always real.

Who Should Come

Doesn’t matter if you're just starting out, love birds, or are chasing new Delhi NCR birdwatching tours. If you want to get out, learn, and maybe see a side of nature you never noticed, I’m here for that.
