Bengal Birds

Hi Friends!!



Yesterday i did a 3 hours birding at Nalban Bheri and Goltala Bheri.
Trip was very interesting. I was happy to see good numbers of
migratory birds still playing in the water.....it seems the count has
incresed since i am watching the trend from December. Gadwals are the
majority there. Nearly 100+ i saw. Also i find 20+ pintails but no
lesser whistling even at long distance - i could not find them. I am
not sure whether they have started return migration from here. One
interesting thing i saw - 2 pair of Eurasian Wigeons. I noticed -
yellow wagtails and white wagtails were missing.



Here is the list of birds - i watched there:



1. Clamarous reed warbler


2. Plain prinia


3. Brown shrike


4. Grey heron (2 / 3 only)


5. Little Egret


6. Yellow Bittern


7. Scally bellied munia (gooo numbers)


8. Gadwal


9. Northern Pintail


10. Common moorhen


11. Eurasian Wigeons

12. Swino snipe



and other birds like Drongo, pied myna, large billed crow etc.



Thanks,



Happy birding
