Birding(Begur Lake)


 
 

This Wednesday I decided to visit the Begur Lake again. This time early in the morning. Below are the photos taken during the bird outing.

Early in the mornings there is lot of bird activity as well as Human activity near the lake. It was sad to see lot of people coming here for their daily natural call. It was difficult to walk around the lake before bumping into someone.

Left the lake and decided to visit it a little later. I left and went back at 9AM. This time around people were visiting the lake but not for nature call but to wash their trucks,clothes and bathing.

I was fortunate to see lot of birds around the area.
