Tired been chased around, the juve Osprey landed not too far away.
The juve Brahminy continued to patrol his territory.

| Common Sandpiper |
Not satisfied with the photo qualities and curious about more birds led me to return to this mudflat in the following morning.
Some of the birds were still far away. These are Little Egrets foraging on the opposite bank. Its feets are black due to the mud.
A Great Egret swallowing a big fish
Hard to tell whether this fellow is a little egret or an intermediate. A good topic for a prolong debate.
A mean-full stare from a Little Heron.
On the way back, we stopped at a small patch of paddy field.
A Pond Heron (unidentified)
Another unidentified Pond Heron
This fellow is most likely a Little Egret - it has a slight pinkish color at its lower mandible.
So the conclusion is that morning is still the best time for birding.
