       City based photo-artist Vinod Patil alias Baiju bagged the prestigious Sanctuary RBS Wildlife Award 2009 in the individual category.
 
Baiju received the award at a programme held in Mumbai. He had sent five pictures for the contest out of which three were selected. His picture of egrets resting on the trees in the night was critically appreciated. "The picture is special because it was taken at night near a waterbody in Aurangabad district. I used the low-shutter speed technique to capture the birds sleeping," said Baiju.
Other pictures that brought him fame include wolves in the wilderness (taken in Nanaj in Solapur district) and the tigress Badimaa' plying with her cubs in the dense forests of Pench National Park in Madhya Pradesh.

                  Baiju has been in the field of photography for the last 11 years and has organised photo exhibitions of birds and animal shot by him travelling to different parts of the country. He is a recipient of a number of state, national and international awards.
