I don't know if it's your first time there. Full of birds, apart of the declining vultures. For easy and rewarding birding in winter, few places can challenge to Keoladeo in Barathpur. I spend some days there and it was even posible to rent a 60 mm B&L. In 2004 I came back to India and went to the Chilika Lake, the biggest lagoon in Asia. I've never been so many waders. Unluckily I only carried the 8.5X42 EL. And out of the protected areas, in the backwaters of Kerala there must be more herons, egrets and so on than in any place in Western Europe. The team 7X42 plus ED50 looks an excellent choice.</blockquote>
