Readying...

Getting the boats ready to take us for flamingo sighting in the Sewree mudflats from Mahul jetty.

Threatening...

The sky as seen this morning at the mumbai domestic airport. Though it looked as if we would have thunderstorm, it all ended in a whimper...no rain only rising temperatures with rising humidity..

Mahul jetty...

This is the Mahul jetty from where we will board the boat to go flamingo watching!

Showers..

We had premonsoon showers last evening bringing the much awaited drop in temperature, albeit slight drop. This was the picture at Shivaji park signal. Opposite is the Sena Bhavan the Headquarters of a political party - Shiv Sena.

At the nets...

Rows of stacked nets for catching crabs lined up along the jetty with other fishing equipment.
