Where would you like to be this Monday ?



We went on a three hour boat safari on the Zuari to look for some birds and found more than 30 species of birds . It is a great place to spot the five varieties of kingfishers and we were lucky to see at least three of them closely.

As an amateur birder, I enjoy sighting variety of birds and listening to their calls . I do learn to id them, but sometimes just watching  their behaviour is enough to make me lose sense of time . I am no bird photographer nor am I am expert, but my travels have taken me to several birding destinations like this trip to South Goa, which is where I saw this beautiful bird.
