The Man has, however, played against the nature and tried to destroy it - almost 3/4th of the area is now built upon or the construction is on. This leaves only a very limited area for the birds - so one sees everything bunched together.
This morning - earlier than most times I have reached there - produced a great site near a small 'watering hole' of 5 Pairs of Sarus. They continued to put a display of calling - one pair after another though the dance eluded.
Here is one such pair.
The Migratories are almost all gone except for a bunch of Garganey, who are gathering together to fly back in a flock.
Usuals are all there - Storks, led by a family of 5 Black-Neckeds. The youngsters are doing well under the watchful eyes of at least one parent nearby. Herons, Cormorants, Spot-bills, some Combducks, Jacanas, Moorhens - Purple and Common and a few waders. Missing are Munias though Weavers seem to be gathering strength with the wheat fields now under harvest.
Good show by Red-Headed Buntings.
Cheers.
