Second Outing with the RTP Group (21-June-2014)
Location: Osman Sagar Lake and Gandipet Park
Sighting: 22 different species

Every time I go out for a bird outing in-and-around Hyderabad, I'm always pleasantly surprised with the variety of Birds. This time it was no different. A note of thanks goes to Akshay, Rahul and Ajith for joining from RTP. Also a note of thanks goes to the Photography Equipment without which capturing this beauty wouldn't have been possible.

    1. Depends on what birds you are targeting. If migrants is what you want then Dec-Jan-Feb is best. Otherwise you will get all residents only.
