were much lower since my last visit there on the 31st of October.
We (Pragya and myself) were at the pond in front of JNPT Colony Police
Station a little past 7AM on Sunday the 5th of December, to find a
landscape that I would have probably only imagined in Bharatpur (see photos
attached below). We were welcomed by a small group of Ducks, Grey
Herons and Great Egrets, but a closer look thru the binocs a surprise
awaited us in a pair of Comb ducks. Further on, in the pond where we
had earlier spotted the strangler White Pelican, there was a large
group of Pied Avocets (at least 53 nos.) as we were trying to sink in
our first sighting of these wonderful birds a local fisherman walked
straight into the pond and flew them all away. We had to then settle
for the Sand pipers, Shanks, Terns and a few Eurasian Spoonbills (seen
flying overhead).
