Jeanie with one n.
Had our last day of birdwatching with Raymon. We went to Terekol Fort which is the furtherest north you can go in Goa. A bridge is being built across the Terekol river so this will be the last time that we will have used the ferry which is a bit of a blow.
If you drive to the hotel and park outside, there is a large sign saying trespassers will be prosecuted.
Go past this sign and you enter an area similar to Fort Aguada. Paddy fields which lead to rocky roads which eventually come to a cliff over the sea.
We have had several great birds here over the years including Yellow footed Green Pigeon and Grey-necked Bunting.
Today we had Orange Breasted Green Pigeons, loads of different Larks and Pipits and the star of the show which was a Blue Rock Thrush which was in rocks beneath the cliffs.
We then went to Mandrem beach for lunch and a snooze.
Unless anything astonishing hops in front of us before Wednesday, this is my last post on this thread. Bye bye Goa, hello Gujarat.
Looking forward to hearing how all the others faired and a wave to Paul and partner who we met in a restaurant.
