A flock of Indian cormorants cooling off during noon at Vendanthangal Lake. Unlike most diving birds, cormorants do not have waterproof feathers.

Here, the branches of the tree provide a strong counterpoint to the cormorants.

A flock of flamingos are in the middle of their social dance at end of the day near Vedaranyam. The occasional red of their wings and elegant poses contrast well with the blue of the sea.
