Over the past many Sundays, I have been discovering and re-discovering the beautiful lakes of Bangalore and the remarkable birds and critters that inhabit there.
Last week, I visited Anekal lake for the first time.
Here's a photo tour...
The sky was so overcast that the Sun at 9 AM was looking like moon...
A flock of Black-winged Stilts...
Ashy Prinia...
Pheasant-tailed Jacana...
Great Cormorant in flight...
Donkey and its cute foal...
The foal looked less than a month old...
A flock of Black-winged stilts perform a synchronized aerobatic flight at really high speed...
Frog...
Paddyfield Pipit...
Pied Bush Chat...
Cattle Egret in flight...
White-browed Wagtail...
The showstopper of the day was the Pied Kingfisher. It hovers over the lake trying to locate fishes...
Once it locates a fish, it dives into the water with great speed...
It catches the fish...
And flies away...
Here's a panorama of Anekal lake and its surroundings. Click or tap to navigate...
Very good photo shoots. A special credits to the moon like sun...!!
