Birding at Muthanallur

This was my first visit to Muthanallur lake near Bangalore. Splashed across with fantastic views, the place seemed like a creation, specially carved for the beautiful birds that lurk around. Here's what I explored...

A little slice of paradise...


Chestnut-tailed starling...














A tiny Spotted owlet was spotted in the woods. See where the arrow is pointing...


Here are some closeup shots of the spotted owlet...










A panorama of the place where I found the spotted owlet. Click and drag to look around...


Black drongo...


Some creative posing by Grey-headed swamphen...








Blyths Reed Warbler...


Indian golden oriole...














Glossy Ibis...


Pied Bushchat...





Another scenic view...


Plain tiger butterfly...


Indian golden oriole (female)...


Rose-ringed parakeet...








Male Crimson marsh glider dragonfly...

  23. Hi Shiju, these are amazing photographs! I did have to do a double take when looking at the rather interesting photo of the gray-headed swamp hens. The spotted owlet was well spotted by you too. I do apologies for not popping by sooner, I took a step away from allt hings internet over the holidays.
