Darshan M. Trivedi
The spot was Mulli (TN-Kerala border) & it was 260th Birding visit of CNS and we went to Deep forest and river stream of Kera-
la after proper documentation process at Forest range.
First time i observed / seen Mud puddling of thousands of butterflies , Common Gull, Albatross, Lime Butterfly, Common Band-
ed Peacock. First time clicked Banded Peacock there. It was really memorable and very first exciting experience for me.

After encountering this beauty for more than twice in a month...it was
on a sunny day at TNAU Botanical garden with Mr. Pavendhan Ap-
pavu, Mr. Theivaprakasham Hari and Ramanasaran Hari, the butterfly-
Guava blue sat for nearly 10mins ..
Till date it was Siruvani and Kallar which was considered to be
hotspots for butterflying and to that list, TNAU Botanical garden can
be added as it never disappoints the enthusiasts..
ID: Guava blue, Location: TNAU Botanical garden, Date: October,
2017.
