But still has few that are close to my heart! So sending them also. Small Green Awlet This gem was found after very bad day in the field in the Namdapha. i photographed Common Gull for few hours thinking that it was Green Veined White! All our dreams of getting some thing interesting in Namdapha were already vanished! While coming back to Deban from Haldibari, we crossed the Noa Dihing river by boat and while we were walking on the stony riverbed of Noa Dihing this beautifull butterfly came and settled in front of us. Suddenly my heart was running like USEN BOLT! Such a majestic butterfly this was! White Dragontail This for me the picture I was dreaming for a long time. when i was with Krushnamegh in 2008 he showed me White Dragontail for the first time. I was big fan of this small butterfly since then. But even after 5 trips till November 2011 I was unable to get good pic of this. But finally i got this one in Namdapha this time. Thanks to Paresh Kale and Hemant Ogale who gave me best side to shoot this one. Great Nawab and Jewelled Nawab Photographically this one is of very low quality! But the two butterflies involved in the pic makes for the quality! This was taken in Garo Hills when no one was ready to shoot Jewelled Nawab as we have already clicked hundreds of pics of it on second day of he trip. So Jewelled Nawab bring Great Nawab for company! -- Enjoy
