点评:This was my third trip to Bandhavgarh. Tala is still the most preferred zone although activity in Khitauli has increased dramatically since I was here last. The park has an old world feel to it. Bajrang was frequently found resting in the marshy area close to the Tala gate. I started my sightings with that of a young male tiger in this zone who came down to the track from the rocks above in dramatic fashion. I had never sighted a leopard before in this park but had two very good leopard sightings this time. The park has many birds of prey and I could photograph the Oriental Honey Buzzard, the Crested Serpent Eagle and the Shikra. Luckily, there were repeat sightings of Tara, the deceptive Tigress at Khitauli. We had a young Tigress cross the track in front of us, daughter of the buffer female and a shy young Tiger in a remote part of the park which was an exclusive sighting. Samrat was also sighted. The most languid and detailed sighting was of Jamhol, a relaxed male tiger. We spent a lot of time with him and it was one of the highlights of the trip. Apart from this Scops owls and a Brown fish owl were also sighted. It was a pleasure to return to Bandhavgarh where wildlife continues to thrive.
翻译:这是我第三次来到班达迦国家公园。塔拉区仍然是我最喜欢的区域,不过自从我上次来之后,基陶利区的动物活动明显增多。公园散发着一种古老的气息。我经常看到巴杰朗在塔拉门附近的沼泽地里休息。我首先在这个区域看到了一只年轻的雄性老虎,它戏剧性地从上面的岩石上走到小路上。我以前从未在这个公园见过豹子,但这次却看到了两只非常漂亮的豹子。公园里有很多猛禽,我拍到了东方蜂鹰、凤头蛇雕和赤腹鹰。幸运的是,我在基陶利区再次看到了狡猾的雌虎塔拉。一只年轻的雌虎从我们面前穿过小路,它是缓冲雌虎的女儿,也是公园偏僻角落里一只害羞的小老虎,这可是难得一见的景象。萨姆拉特也出现了。最令人难忘、印象最深刻的观察对象是雄性老虎贾姆霍尔,它十分放松。我们花了很多时间陪伴它,这无疑是此次旅行的一大亮点。除此之外,我们还看到了角鸮和褐渔鸮。能够重返班达迦野生动物保护区,看到这里依然生机勃勃,真是令人欣喜。
