1986

[Kiran Poonacha]

My wife dug out an image of mine taken in 1985, Felt nice to see it as it made me think of my birding days as a Kid and thought of sharing it with you all.

The bird book that I am holding is by Martin Woodcock called "birds of India". With no one around to even discuss about birds I used to identify birds using my skills and the book but used to be all wrong. but still it was fun.

my Mom, Dad (enjoying his whisky) and Sister too are in the frame.

Regards,

Kiran.
