Morning hike at Hoskote was highly productive. I saw many new birds in the 2 hours long exploration. Here are the photos...

First sighting in the lake was a Spot-billed Pelican, floating peacefully...

Four Painted Storks were busy fishing together...

A Grey Heron was gliding smoothly...

A Black-winged Stilt with his small meal...

Saw these three Asian Openbill storks. They looked intense...


Then I saw the first of the 3 types of sandpipers for the day. This is the Wood Sandpiper...

Then I saw the first of the 3 types of warblers for the day. This is the Booted Warbler...

A Black Drongo was seen next, gaurding his territory...

Also seen was a Hair-crested Drongo...

Perched on the same tree was a Rosy Starling...

Next was the pocket-sized-loud-mouth - Ashy Prinia...

Second warbler variety of the day - Clamorous Reed Warbler...

And the third warbler variety - Sykes's Warbler...

A male Purple Sunbird flew in to nectar in the Milkweed plant...

A Black-headed Ibis...

A Common Kingfisher was sitting on the wire and singing...

I returned to the place where I had seen the Asian Openbill storks. I found another weird group...
