Overnight rains, a cloudy day and my dear friend Neeta for company - quite a perfect start to a birding morning.
It started with a sight of these piggies snuffling in the mud, surprising and amusing me.
The yellow tacoma bushes were a riot of yellow, and just past them, we saw the usual pond herons and swamp hens in plenty.
Today's surprises included a dozen pelicans - I did not see them on my last visit - and some Garganeys!
Also bumped into the bangalore birders in full strength including Garima.
The best moment was a pair of white-cheeked barbets, knocking on a dead tree, possibly nest building.
And oh yes, another checkered keel back - this one in the water, swimming away and into the hyacinth.
morning well spent I see :)
