Hola! I wanted to share a little about my birding patch. It's a small stretch of polluted distributary near the Hawksbay beach, Karachi, Pakistan.
Here's the much detailed version if you are interested;

I had noted that the presence of the plain prinias, Clamarous reed warblers and the usual Purple sunbirds, Laughing doves and green bee eaters here but wanted to explore much more.
My strike in interest resulted in finding much more species than I thought I would find in such a small area.
I soon found out that this particular spot was a breeding site for Streaked weavers, roosting site for Barn swallows and herons. White breasted waterhen was a very interesting find here though not unexpected. I still get happy whenever I see it, it is much prettier than the moorhen.
The rarest resident award however, goes to the Yellow bellied prinia. A breeding resident, they are usually herd than seen and are always a sight to see.
