Vedanthangal Bird Centaury and Bullet Ride, Vedanthangal (5th Dec 2010)

I was doing casual chat with one of my friend Senthil in last week (He is Madras-IIT’an and working as Design Architecture in one of leading Organization). During Our chat, I came to know that he has bullet (Royal Enfield) and he goes every weekend to Mahabalipuram by bike (approx 100 kms up and down ) . Meanwhile I came across news of season started at Vedanthangal l and lot foreign and north India birds are start coming to centaury. I asked Senthil, shall we go for bike ride to Bird centaury? He replied instantaneously we will go on coming Sunday.

We started around 9 am. On the way, we met one of my friend who returned from US ( actually he bought new digital camera for me from US). The distance of Chennai Tambaram (South part of the Chennai city )to Vedanthangal around 55 KMs . We reached the place around 10:30 am.
During our trip, I recalled and I visited the same place with Feb 2006 with MSc Classmates.

I saw few visitors and some photography hobbies guys. We seen few birds and around 20 varieties of birds already reached centaury (this info provided by Forest department person who works in centaury).
We saw few birds through binocular (very aged one) also.
Because of drizzling we did not carry our cameras, so I did not take photo :-(

After half hours stay, we departed. We reached Chennai around 12:30 PM.

That day climate was awesome (No Sun rays at all). I enjoyed of Bullet ride (After a year, I went a bike trip. Before that I went Bangalore to Madurai with Marudhappan in Dec 2009).

I was happy and I am start engaging these days in Chennai also (actually I missed a trip with Bangalore friends in same day in Bangalore).
