[BirdPhotoIndia] Northern Pintail-1

Hi,

    Northern Pintails were ubiquitous at Mangalajodi,Orissa India. They sat almost hidden in the golden grassland but whenever a Marsh Harrier flied over them,like bullets fired, they immediately took to the sky. Except in television, I had never seen ducks sitting in a flat grassland by hundreds. It was an amazing sight. There were also Ruddy Shelducks but in much lesser number and a handful of Shovellers, Common Teal and Spot-billed Ducks.

Shot on 29.1.11.

Thanks,

Maitreyee
