When it comes to birding, Hoskote lake in Bangalore is always in great shape and compels me to try it again and again. It was an easy walk last Sunday which resulted in some amazing sightings. Here's a photo tour...

A Black-winged stilt was on a fishing mission, walking skillfully without disturbing the water...
Soon it caught a fish...
A Little egret was even more circumspect in its fishing mission...
Watching it was a tale of focus...
And a tale of patience...
In the end perseverance pays...
I watched the synchronous attempts of a pair of black-winged stilts...
