Near Hosur - 17 July 2004
The past week was a bit tight, and I badly wanted to go somewhere, away
from Bangalore. For a long time, whenever I travelled NH 7, I always noticed
good greenery, hilly forested terrain a little past Hosur, and I always wanted
to go around this scrub jungle and see what is there.
So this Saturday I packed the camera, and off I went towards Hosur.
Breakfast at Hosur Saravana Bhavan, and then 10kms past Hosur, parked the
bike at a petrol station and walked into the scrub jungles adjacent to the
highway. The ride was also a very pleasant one, for it was early morning, and
the traffic is nil, and the weather, road and everything else was perfect and
in place. What a day!
I spent the whole of the morning wandering through those small hills.
By noon, I
returned to Bangalore, after lunch at Hosur(again at Saravana Bhavan). Should mention
that breakfast at Saravana Bhavan was really delicious. The poori, dosa, vada
combination, with a perfect coffee to finish with, gives one's taste buds a
treat.
I remember seeing:
- Bee eater - plenty of them
- Ashy Prinia
- Lesser Coucal
- Black Kite
