My wife and I have just returned from a 2 week holiday to south Goa staying at the Dona Sylvia. Our first time there. We're both fairly low-key birders but do like to birdwatch as part of our holiday. We walked the area around Cavelossim most mornings before the heat of the day kicked in-lonely track, ponds to the north, road to the substation, road to the ferry which has now been replaced by a bridge. Just to say a big thanks for your excellent detailed report which we found most useful. We also had a trip to Chandarath Hill and were rewarded with a brief view of a hornbill as it was flushed by a troop of monkeys-very surprised to find one there-Indian Grey we think. We did plan a trip to Velim lake but were told by another birder that it has now been drained.   Again many thanks.</blockquote>
