In the previous post I have put up pictures of all the birds
we saw inside the Reserve Forest, but on the third day we decided to look
around in the vicinity of the Resort, alongside a huge lake, and discovered a
fair number of birds specially grassland birds which we don’t get to see normally. These birds are
small and blend in so well with their surroundings that it is really difficult
to capture them on camera. I am pleased
with the few I did manage to get but rue the ones I could just barely see
flitting around.
