[BirdPhotoIndia] Cotton Pygmy-goose on tree in Malda.

Hi Folks,
                After a long gap yesterday I was able to provide some time for bird watching. Last morning I spent two hours of morning near the ruins of Gaur, the ancient capital of Bengal. Though we saw generally common species, but was excited to see two unidentified waders, a flock of Barn Swallow.There I saw a pair of this Cotton Pygmy-goose perched on a banyan tree, close to Firoz Minar. The commoners were as follows
 
    1) Little and Indian Cormorant.
    2) Unidentified Pratincole( In flight)
    3) Blue-tailed Bee-eater.
    4) Zitting Cisticola
    5) Rufous-winged Bush-lark
    6) Barn Swallow.
    7) Pied Cuckoo.
    8) Indian Koel
    9) Common Hawk-cuckoo
    10) Black Drongo
    11) Rufous Tree-pie
    12) Greater Coucal.
    13) Yellow-footed Green-pigeon
    14) White-throated Kingfisher
    15) Pied Kingfisher
    16) Common Kingfisher
    17) Stork-billed Kingfisher
    18) Common Myna
    19) Pied Starling
    20) Chestnut-tailed Starling
    21) Blue-throated Barbet
    22) Shikra
    23) Black Kite
    24) Little Greeb
    25) Rose-ringed Parakeet
    26) Red-wattled Lapwing
    27) White-breasted Waterhen
    28) Indian Silverbill
    29) Asian Openbill
    30) Spotted Dove.
