Thank you Dr. Vaibhav and Mr. Praveen for an amazing weekend 

Hopefully someone can help me with IDing these flowers - Kanakeshwar 

Blue Mormon - Got to see some good specimens of butterflies too at Alibaug's very own hill station. At just over a 1000 feet above sea level this dense forest is an amazing weekend getaway.  

This Kestrel was seen chasing the Sparrow larks at the foot of the hill ( Possibly the Sparrow larks had nests there ) 

Yellow-legged-Green-Pigeon - Kanakeshwar
