Calm lake

A cormorant(Phalacrocorax fuscicollis) resting on a dead tree stump in the Periyar Tiger Reserve. The early morning mist on the lake provides a great setting. A sight from the bamboo rafting trip organised by the Kerala Forest Department. If you are visiting Periyar Tiger Reserve in Kerala, I would highly recommend the bamboo rafting, especially the early morning ones when the lake is covered by fog.
