hi all--- monkeys are a big menace -- at the entrance to the steps towards duck point --the monkeys came for us thank god sanjay was there - the male monkey caught hold of rita's bag and started pulling and biting it thinking it had food -- one should not venture alone whether man or woman -- there were many inside the the park who had similar stories to relate- to us--- thank god sanjay with a stick threatened it and we started walking-with each one of us armed with a stick.- yes we did see 2 bonellis, 1 MArsh harrier , 2 white eyed buzzard s--saw the eurasian cuckoo heard the common hawk cuckoo-- golden orioles ---asian paradise fly catchers one white male and couple of rufous male and one female- eurasian curlew, godwit, open billed stork - red shank-wood sand pipers -- plovers,kentish and little ringed - stints ,temmincks and little stint and ruffs 100 comb ducks-- 3black rumped flame back wood peckers, -lessr white throats , greennish warblers, humes warbler , pintails , shovellers, and a flock of about 100 blue cheeked beeaters all lying flat on the hot sun drenched ground probably collecting at that spot to take off at an opportune time as grimmet says that they are passage migrants and summer visitors Pakistan and NW india,-- bay back shrike - and of course the usual ones that we normally always see --
cheers-- chandrima
