As if like a premonition, I witnessed one that gave me a gentle reminder that the time had come for the great crossing.
Place: Malampuzha reservoir, Palakkad, Kerala
Till panic set in!! They turned as a group and rushed madly back into the safety of the waters. Some slipping in the slush and losing foot hold, others holding ground with panic in their eyes.
The reason. Local predators! Strays?
Panic settles. The breath steadies, the heartbeats slow down. Is it safe?
Mid water consultation. The egret contributes to the discussion. The danger is fading from sight.
There is safety in numbers and the brave egret agrees!
Great pic story!!!
