Raorchestes montanus, also known as the Montane bush frog, is a species found only in the high-altitude Shola forests of Kudremukha, the second-highest peak in Karnataka. True to its name, this frog inhabits mountain regions, and accessing its habitat required a challenging 5-hour trek, ascending close to 1900 meters.

The more serene the landscape appears, the tougher the climb becomes. I took this photo after completing over 80% of the ascent, and at that point, it feels like giving up is unavoidable. However, the sight of two frog species found only at the peak made the climb worth it, despite the constant leech bites, rain, blood, and the weight of ponchos (yes, even a poncho feels like a heavy load). I’m thrilled to have conquered Karnataka’s second-highest peak just to witness these elusive frogs—Raorchestes indigo and Raorchestes montanus.

Photos coming soon!

Join us for a talk by Dr. Ramana Athreya as he shares experiences from his expedition to New Guinea Island (Western Papua) and his fascination with birds-of-paradise. New Guinea is renowned for its extraordinary array of Birds-of-Paradise, with 24 species residing in its Indonesian half, 16 of which are concentrated in the northwest Vogelkop peninsula.
Despite the island's general difficulty for visitors, the Vogelkop's small size offers an accessible and cost-effective opportunity for birdwatchers to observe these spectacular birds, with rewards ranking among the highest internationally.

Dr. Ramana is a member of the faculty of Physics and Biology at the prestigious Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Pune. An astronomer by training, Dr. Athreya is the only Indian to have ever discovered and described a new bird species in the country – the spectacular Bugun Liocichla. He “discovered” Eaglenest sanctuary in Arunachal Pradesh for the Indian birdwatching community and initiated the highly successful and much acclaimed Bugun tribal community conservation oriented ecotourism project in Eaglenest wildlife sanctuary, Arunachal Pradesh. His research group explores biodiversity patterns in Arunachal Pradesh and the ecological processes responsible for them.

Topic: Birding in New Guinea Island (Western Papua)
Date: April 20, 2024
Time: 6:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.

Did you get the crossword?
“In Quest of the Crows of Elysium” refers to the kinship between crows and birds-of-paradise; the two groups split from a common ancestor 25 million years ago – quite recent in evolutionary terms – and evolved in diametrically opposite ways to span the vast span of plumage from the most exotically spectacular to the most drab species!

The Indian Scops Owl is a scops-owl of medium size, recognizable by its prominent ear tufts and dark eyes. While its coloration can vary from gray to brown, certain consistent features include its dark eyes, a delicate black rim outlining its facial disc, and slightly streaked underparts.

"इंडियन स्कॉप्स उल" मध्यम आकार की एक स्कॉप्स-उल है, जिसकी प्रमुख कान की पंखडि़याँ और गहरी आँखें पहचानने में आती है। जबकि इसकी रंग-विचित्रता ग्रे से ब्राउन तक हो सकती है, कुछ नियमित विशेषताएँ इसमें शामिल हैं जैसे कि इसकी गहरी आँखें, उसके चेहरे के वक्रपट को आकार देने वाले काले रिम, और थोड़ी सी धारित नीचे के हिस्से की रेखाएँ।

Vanvasm organized a Birthday trail for Ananth and Amrit at BNHS CEC. The day was calm after 15 days of continuous rain in Mumbai. The nature trail began around 8:30 am with 35 participants including kids and adults. Exploring the Karvi trail, we discovered various macro fauna, including flowers, spiders, beetles, flies, and intriguing insects. Notable sightings were the stick mantis, Stalk-eyed fly, and Ceropegia Vincifolia flower. The kids' connection with water became evident after the trail, as they joyfully jumped into a natural pool. This educational experience allowed the children to appreciate Mumbai City's hidden natural heritage.

वनवासम ने आनंत और अमृत के जन्मदिन के अवसर पर एक बर्थडे ट्रेल BNHS CEC में आयोजित किया। मुंबई में लगातार १५ दिनों की बारिश के बाद यह दिन शांत था। प्राकृतिक मार्ग सुबह 8:30 बजे लगभग ३५ उत्साही बच्चों और बड़ो के साथ शुरू हुआ। कार्वी मार्ग का पता लगाते समय हमने विभिन्न पौधों, मकड़ीओं, बीटल्स, मक्खियों और रोचक कीटों समेत विभिन्न मैक्रो जीवाओं की खोज की। मुख्य दिखाई देने वाले प्राणियों में स्टिक मैंटिस, स्टॉक आईड फ्लाई और सेरोपेजिया विंसिफोलिया फूल थे। ट्रेल के बाद बच्चों का पानी से संबंध स्पष्ट हो गया, क्योंकि वे खुशी खुशी एक प्राकृतिक पूल में कूद गए। यह शिक्षात्मक अनुभव बच्चों को मुंबई शहर की छिपी हुई प्राकृतिक धरोहर की मूल्यांकन करने का अवसर प्रदान किया।

The Nagla Forest Block is a contiguous area connected to Sanjay Gandhi National Park. It encompasses a vast mountain ridge that acts as a natural boundary between Ovalekar Wadi in Thane, renowned for its Ovalekar Butterfly Park, and Suraj Water Park. Approximately 17% of the land belonging to Sanjay Gandhi National Park lies beyond the Bassein/Bhayander Creek, and these forests remain remarkably untouched, making them highly favored by those interested in observing butterflies, birds, and nature in general.
