Nice sighting. Agree about the space at bottom. Were there a good number of shovlers at the lake? Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Roopak and Mrudul for looking into the image and sharing your views. Looks like I have cropped more than necessary from the bottom, will keep it in mind going forward.
Mrudul, there are decent number of Shovelers in this lake and also the Pintails. What have not visited this lake this year are RC prochards, common pochards, and Rudy Shelducks. This lake remains the most serene and undisturbed but it is not a big one. It is about 90kms from Hyderabad.
