Hello Hive Community.

I hope you all are fine. I am also fine here. This is my entry for the #monomad challenge July 20th. After a week, I am making a post today in the #monomad community. In today's post, I have presented photographs of feeding birds during a boat trip in the early morning. It is early morning so there is more fog in the morning. Which makes today's black and white photos more beautiful. The photographs in today's post were captured in the camera during a visit to Nalsarovar. I hope you will like my photographs and post.

As can be seen in the photograph above, I captured these photographs during a visit to Nal Sarovar in the early morning. Now let me talk to you a little about Nal Sarovar. Nal Sarovar is a beautiful lake located in the state of Gujarat, India. And this lake has been developed as a bird sanctuary. This lake is one of the largest bird sanctuaries in the country. And this lake is very famous for its natural beauty and rich bird life. This place is very popular with nature lovers, photographers and people who enjoy watching birds. The second photograph above shows a buffalo that is not in the pond.

The photographs presented here were captured early in the morning. Due to the lack of sunlight in the morning, the light in the photographs is a little less. And there is also a thick fog around the lake in the morning, due to which it was not possible to get enough light for photographs. Despite this, I have captured the birds and presented them to you. More than 200 species of birds live in Nal Sarovar. During winter, thousands of migratory birds come here from distant countries like Siberia, Europe and Africa. Flamingos, pelicans, herons, storks, ducks and many other birds can be seen flying, swimming or resting in the lake. The best time to visit Nal Sarovar is between November and February. During this time, the weather here is cool and birds are present here in large numbers.

There are many small villages near Nal Sarovar. The local people, including the Bharwad and Padhar communities, live a simple life close to nature. The people of this community also take tourists who come here for boating in the lake. Along with this, tourists who visit this lake can see the traditional huts of the people here and can also enjoy the taste of the local food here. And they take with them many memories of the culture here. In the second photograph above, people can be seen standing on the banks of the lake. The scene is a little hazy due to fog.

If I talk to you a little about Nalsarovar, this lake is very wide and covers about 120 square kilometers. This lake is surrounded by small islands and wetlands. Tourists who come here definitely enjoy boat rides on the lake to get close to the birds and explore the peaceful environment. Apart from birds, fish, frogs and other small animals are also found in Nal Sarovar. I believe that Nal Sarovar is a great place for nature lovers, bird watchers and photographers.

If I talk about the first photograph of the two photographs above, this photograph shows a peaceful and beautiful moment in nature. People sitting in a boat are feeding the birds due to which the birds gather around the boat. The people sitting in the boat seem to be enjoying this special moment. The fog and mist make the background disappear, so we can only see the water, the birds and the boat. This photograph gives a dreamlike feel.

I believe that Nal Sarovar is a very important place for the environment and birds. This lake provides a safe place for birds to rest, eat and breed. If we look at it, this place also helps in balancing nature and maintaining the water cycle. I had read somewhere that in 1969, the Gujarat government declared Nal Sarovar a bird sanctuary. I don't remember where I read this. But this lake is really beautiful and worth visiting.

Now I will conclude my post by saying two things here. Nal Sarovar is a wonderful place full of natural beauty and life. As I often say after visiting such places, we should learn to respect and protect nature. Visiting Nal Sarovar is not just a trip, but it brings us closer to birds, water and nature.


I was very happy to make today's post. I hope that my post will be accepted for the #monomad challenge july 20th.
