Well I am not sure if this is a Kingfisher or not but as per our tour guide at Ranthambore its a Indian Kingfisher. It has comparatively shorter beak and does not have typical white color on its throat. It still dives in ponds for fishes. These birds are also found in some parts of Hariyana, Punjab and Himachal Pradesh.
Well this creature here does not need any details or explanation. This is regular wild ant which simply does not stop, it was very difficult capture this comparatively tiny creature in grassy lands, after 15 - 20 attempts I managed to capture it well even if it was running away. It appears to be still in the picture but it is not :)
This is a Scoop Owl usually founds in Rajasthan, Gujarat & Maharashtra. He was capture while he is fast asleep, funny thing about this owl is it has a yellow beak and we were told by our guide that it can eat upto 5 rats in a night. Well that's a superb apatite for a Owl.
This is a Barasingha, typically found in parts of Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. This species were almost extinct during the late 80's. A special initiative was taken by the Indian wildlife division to protect these species, special breeding projects were carried out and released in the reserves. The species are considered to be stable and out of danger now. Here's a glimpse of one I managed to capture in my camera.
Nilgai found in central India can stand 4-5 feet at shoulders, and mature males can weight around 240 Kgs. Mostly they are found in small groups of 5 - 40 at a time, but I never came across any herd all the Nilgai's that I came across here in the park were solitary. Here's a snap I cliches, its not really clear neither is the Nilgai posing for the picture but still it is good considering poor lighting conditions and shy nature of the creature.
