Ajay..
Found the bird you were looking for?
At Pallikaranai, Chennai
Just wanted to post a birdscape for a change. Wondering if I should have shown a wider view but was worried the birds would be just too small then. Imagine two similar frames each to the left and right in case you were wondering about the size of this group. And that's just one. There were three big confluences like this and numerous smaller groups when I went here that day.
This super resilient (now just 1/10th of its original size due to encroachments and still attracting birds in scores) and rich (the city has grown right around it..but more species flock here every season than the sanctuaries outside the city) wetland was where I started watching birds and I guess you can understand if I return kind of underwhelmed after visiting other birding hotspots:)
