The first bird that greeted me was this lone Common Sandpiper.
Then i saw this crow (looks like a Slender-Billed or perhaps just a Common Crow) following closely a Brahminy Kite.
The Brahminy Kite was constantly looking up at the crow to ensure that it does not do anything mischievous.
This is a juvenile Striated Heron identified thru its brownish colors
This is a Common Redshank with a clean bill and legs.
This Common Redshank has got its feet and bill in the mud!
Saw a Black-Capped Kingfisher flying across the mudflats and landed on a dead tree trunk.
At one glance this could have been a spotted redshank but its bill is shorter and there is no subtle droop near its tip. So this was just a Common Redshank.
This Intermediate Egret certaintly dwarfs the common redshank.
Saw a few of this Terek Sandpiper. Said to occur in some parts of Europe as well.
I saw more Red-Necked Stints this time.
A closer look at the Red-Necked Stint.
A Little Egret with its long breast-plumes- getting ready for breeding?
Today i saw three Brown-Headed Gulls. Yang Chong saw 21 a few days later. Although gulls are abundant in Britain and Europe but not this one which is said to be only common in Central Asia region.
Here you could see the white spots on its primaries which characterized this gull.
It actually has web feets and with a fish in its beak.
This is certaintly a large gull and territorial as well. Saw him chasing some waders away which came close to its comfort zone.
Also saw these Collared Kingfishers.
This Greater Coucal certaintly took its time to cross the road.
