eBird India Checklist - 3 Nov 2023 - Saul Kere / Sowl Kere - 43 species

eBird India Checklist - 3 Nov 2023 - Saul Kere / Sowl Kere - 43 species

Lovely and long morning at Saul kere.  Walked to the lake and back.  Water levels, even lower, and the hyacinth is more.  The JCBs have done their job - there are storm water drains coming in from everywhere.

My morning highlight was a Cinereous Tit seen almost at the end, the scaly-breasted manias in plenty, and the Kingfishers flashing across the water.

The Prinias - so evident last time from all parts of the surrounding scrub, were conspicuously absent.

There was a yellow flowering tree, in a row, and I have identified it as Burmese Rosewood - it looked like a cross between the copepod and the laburnum!

The Marsh Harriers were here, but the birds were quite calm.  

No migrant ducks  did I spy.
