Gudavi Bird Sanctuary-4

Gudavi Bird Sanctuary-4 (Platalea leucorodia, Anhinga melanogaster, Phalacrocorax niger)

Perched on a tree at Gudavi Bird Sanctuary are an Eurasian Spoonbill, Darters(both of them firsts for me) and a Little Cormorant. Shot taken against glaring, fore noon sun light from the opposite direction, from a watch tower at a considerable distance. Hence, quality of image is a bit iffy.

I hope this is helpful, Delia.

How wonderful to see three species sitting happily together like that.

Thanks SK, I've now managed to link some of the species correctly on the location article.
