To: [email protected] Date: Thursday, December 16, 2010, 10:23 AM Dear All, On 13.12.2010 we went for Butterflying at near Amboli early in the morning. Around 8:30 we spotted Malabar Banded Peacock resting on a shrub at 2.5 ft. As the sunlight fall on it, he opened the wings fully...we got surprised when we saw the colour of the wings on UP side...here is the series of colour pattern change photographed during 15 minutes... http://www.flickr.com/photos/9403...@n08/sets/72157625485332751/ Hope you will enjoy it... Regards.. Hemant Ogale -- Enjoy
