Shashi Sood is on a mission to capture rare birds with her camera lens

A post graduate in political science, in the last six years, Sood has photographed and documented hundreds of species of rare and lost birds across Punjab, Bharatpur, Harike Pattan, Rann of Kutch, Nanital and Australia, where she has travelled extensively.

ON her 51st birthday, Shashi Sood was gifted a professional camera by her son. While she was elated with the gift, she hardly knew how to use it. “I used to love photography during my college days but had never used a professional camera. I decided to take the plunge and the first picture I clicked was of a bird (myna) near my house and this is how I became a birder over the years,” says 57-year-old Ludhiana-based Sood.
