Birding at Diveghat near Pune

by | Oct 19, 2021 | Birding

I love visiting birding hot spots in India and around the world. The pandemic however has put a stop to my long-distance travels. So, I started exploring birding destination close by. I found one in Diveghat just about 25 km from my home. The wilderness is just about 2 km off the road but rich in avian species, you may not see all of them the same day. I have made many trips this year to this place and each time enjoyed being there. Sharing few images shot during my trips.

I use Fuji XT-4 with Fuji 100-400 mm lens. This set up is a lightweight combination and makes it very convenient for me who is around 70. The IBIS in the Camera and the lens ensure that I don’t have to lug a tripod around.
