It was a great surprise to see so many birds in Nanjangud !! It turned out to be a memorable birding trip, especially since I got to see many birds for the first time.
After I spotted a White Throated Kingfisher, I decided to spend sometime birding - in the town. It was the first time that I saw the white throat and I didn't have my binoculars and camera!! :(
I woke up early next morning only to be be disappointed by a thick blanket of fog (fog blanket :). I thought I saw some storks on a coconut tree but could not identify them.
The fog lifted around 8 A.M. and I could start identifying the birds. I was really excited to see the Blue Tailed Bee Eater, Red Rumped Swallow and the Indian Grey Hornbill - all firsts for me. The Bee Eater in flight stuns you with its sudden turns and dives.
It was great to see the sparrow thriving here. Hope they come back to Bangalore (To the city and not just the airport)!
While on the train, we spotted a pea-fowl emerging from a sugarcane field and got a glimpse of the Black Ibis.
