This week's visit to Saul Kere was to sight the Pheasant-tailed Jacanas, again, before these northern breeders from south China, leave for their homes. I saw some other birds too. Here are the pics...

A couple of Pheasant-tailed Jacanas could be easily spotted flying around...
...
They were actively foraging in the floating vegetation...

I walked further to see a skulking Intermediate Egret...
...
An Indian Pond-Heron could catch a fish after a long session of skulking...
...Its excitement after gulping the fish...
...Another prolonged skulker, the Grey Heron was rewarded for his patience...
...
...
There were unusually large number of herons. Here's a Purple heron...

After watching the skulkers, I walked further to sight some dabblers. A solitary Indian spot-billed duck was dabbling peacefully...
...
...
...
...
...
Another dabbler was a juvenile Eurasian Moorhen...
...
...
And an adult Eurasian Moorhen was seen unsuccessfully hiding from me...
...
I walked further to see a Eurasian Coot mingling with Spot-billed Pelicans...
...
Next I sighted a White-throated Kingfisher justifying his name...
...
...
...
...
...
...
Next I spotted a Spotted Dove...
...
A Black drongo...
...
And the last sighting of the day was this Rose-ringed Parakeet...
