New on 500px : Just a Gazelle by nimitvirdi by nimitvirdi

An early morning trip to the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve turned fruitful as we came across a herd of Oryx and few Arabian Gazelle. This is a full frame picture of a male Arabian Gazelle. Thanks to the sincere conservation efforts of the Dubai Desert Conservation team, the Wildlife of UAE is on an upward curve. A beautiful and well maintained reserve where strict discipline is maintained.

New on 500px : Kingfisher Balance by nimitvirdi by nimitvirdi

Again at our usual spot within the hide at Ras Al Khor we waited, especially after torrential rains drenched the UAE. Eager to get a glimpse of the kingfisher who perches afar, to our surprise it gave us a warm welcome by choosing an open clutter free perch that too backlit in the right of the evening sun. Landed and trying to get perfect balance on a wobbly perch, it fluttered away in quick successions to keep itself up right and firm.

It was a dull dark cloudy day at the hide in Ras Al Khor, with the prospect of torrential rains washing away the sand from the city in the deserts. There was not much in terms of migratory species and the day did not look to turn to the better, we alway ignore the common easy to find species, but some of them do give pleasing images.Was waiting for some bird to capture after half a day of nothing just then this beautiful yet common bird came flying in to land in the open water.
