Butterfly observations dt 11.09.2022 Tamhini Pune
Celebrating Big butterfly Month India September 2022.
Saturday night I just looked over the sky and it was clear so took a quick decision of visiting Tamhini the very next day. I woke up early morning around 5 am and left for Chandani chowk to catch a red bus which goes to my beautiful and favourite butterfly destination " Tamhini. "
It was a foggy morning but the sunrise happened around 7:30 am. Around 8:30 pm I got down from the bus which I had boarded from C chowk. the sunshine was too bright so thought in mind that today's activity must have already started and yes I was right.
My first sighting started from the female common Mormon from Stichus form and was surprised to see the beauty in their habitat flying from one flower to another nectaring. The monsoon flowers are in full bloom currently which looks like an pink violet carpet spread allover. It's an treat for our eyes to get an beautiful view like this which will be remembered forever.
My observations started from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm. Had to packup early as it had started raining heavily. By 1 pm had my lunch in the forest itself and walked down to the village bus stand to catch a bus back to Pune. On the way it was pouring heavily and as I reached c chowk
