HUnTing With a Camera

Ducks were domesticated some four thousand years back. During the long stage under domestication and generations of selective breeding ducks could not retain some of its natural characters. Domestic ducks are polygamous and not selective in their mating behaviour, they mate indiscriminately with the females in the flock. However the wild ones are monogamous which means exclusive pairing of one male and one female for the breeding season. Ducks prefer to mate in water while swimming though they can also mate successfully on land.

Life is very difficult do deal in harsh summer for humans, we required A.C’s, coolers and many more things to protect our self and to spend our days as normal life, but have you ever think about the animals what they’ll do especially birds.
So many times I have seen that during flight they just fell down and the reason is increasing temperature which birds can’t resist. This thing is also applicable in the case of migratory birds they are not visiting the places where there is a rise in temperature or they changes their migratory routes to other places.

So we have to start thinking in such broad way that we can contribute in such activities because animals and birds don’t have A.C’s.
And this little, beautiful bird Dusky-crag marten (Ptyonoprogne concolor) is resting in shade of college building after loosening all its strength.
