When we call up Nashik-based Anil Mali, the 41 year-old wildlife photographer is busy curating his 1000-odd collection of pictures of different species of birds, animals and reptiles found in the Western Ghats.

In December, Mali will hold an exhibition of his pictures, some of which are rare species of birds and animals such as the Black Baza, the White-Bellied Sea Eagle and the Nilgiri Tahar in Nashik and plans to bring it to Mumbai, too.
