In this video, I'll take you to a place that will never make it onto any travel, wildlife or nature photography list, but it's still my favourite place in the world - the Gaushala. The reason I love coming here - the abundance of spiny tailed lizards. So large is its number, that the entire landscape, when observed from above, appears to be dotted with white spots – the sand that this animal has freshly burrowed out. Since 2012, I’ve been trying to make a wide-angled scape shot of the spiny-tailed. Something with a spiny tailed lizard in the foreground, and the large scape of the Ghaushala behind it. Since these lizards are skittish, I need to place a camera and wait for them to walk into the frame. In the last 12 years, I haven’t found a frame to my liking. What makes this more challenging is the number of predatory birds, especially laggar falcons, that hunt these lizards persistently. In Gaushala, it is quite common to see a laggar falcon feeding on a spiny tailed lizard. This video has footage of a falcon feeding on a lizard, as well as falcons nesting in the Gaushala. I take you along on what a day at Gaushala is - where the slowness that comes by surrendering to a lizard’s well gets abruptly, and frequently, interrupted by falcons hunting them.
