My birding trips continue to be short until my ankle injury heals completely. This week, I visited Kasavanahalli lake and just captured the bird activity at one end without much walking around. Here are the pics...
...
I reached the lake around sunrise time and the first sighting was this silhouette of a Little Egret...
...
An Asian Openbill looked great in the golden hour lighting...
...
It was constantly probing in the swamp and soon found what it was looking for...
...
The emerging sunlight brought a golden twinkle in a Little egret's eye...
...
I watched a patient fisherman, the Purple heron, waiting tirelessly for that opportune moment...
...
It remained still in a motionless meditative posture until a fish caught its eye...
...
A strike with lightning speed rewarded with the most hearty meal...
...
...
...
...
Another Purple heron sat with its alert eye and sharp beak at the ready. Patience is indeed a virtue for birding but matching with that of a Purple heron is a big big deal...
