At Paradise, Mangaluru, I was blessed to capture the tiny yet dazzling Black-backed Dwarf Kingfisher — a real gem of the Western Ghats. Its brilliant colours glowed like a real rainbow against the green forest background.

The moment became even more special in the company of Vivek Nayak and our passionate birding friends of Mangaluru. Every click echoed with excitement, laughter, and the shared joy of discovery.

It was truly a paradise moment — where friendship and nature met through the lens.
