The first bird which greeted us was this White-Throated Kingfisher.
This time we saw more Little Grebes
This Little Grebe swam quite close to us.
Today we saw only this single Black-Winged Stilt.
We also saw plenty of this Lesser Whistling Duck.
We also saw some of its ducklings.
Here are some of the ducklings image been magnified.
Then we came across a group of Red-Wattled Lapwings. This fellow is one of them.
We continue to see more Wood Sandpipers including this one.
We also saw many more White-Breasted Waterhens...
....including its chick.
This is a Common Sandpiper looking for earthworms to eat for breakfast.
Could this possibly be a Chinese Pond Heron? You will not be able to distinguish it from the other two pond herons (i.e Javan and Indian) by just looking at it while stationary. According to Craig Robson (2007) field guide, it tends to have more obvious dusky tips to its outermost primaries feathers than Javans.
....from this picture you could see a tinge of dusky color on the tip of its primaries. We saw close to 5-6 of this Chinese Pond Heron.
This is a handsome Brown Shrike/Long-tailed shrike?
We concluded our outing by passing by this Yellow Wagtail.
