Although not quite into tourist season, it'll be good to get a new thread underway as a resource for people to share their sightings.
One good bird present in recent days is an immature Indian Skimmer at Agassim (on the Zuari river). This will prove rather popular if it stays for the winter.
The coming weekend sees two pelagics going back to back from Panjim. Recent years have proven the presence of birds like Masked Booby, Persian Shearwater, Flesh-footed Shearwater and Swinhoe's Petrel, as well as the more expected Bridled and Sooty Terns and Wilson's Petrel. It will be interesting to see what is discovered this year.
