I agree with the composition. The angle is good. How many migratory birds visit this lake?

[Mrudul Godbole]

Nice composition and eye contact. The low angle enhances the image. Which other birds could you sight there? Thanks for sharing.

Lovely composition, seems the light was not in your favor

I have sighted over one thousand birds, dominated by cormorants in this place. Pelicans, Painted Stork, grey wagtail, spot-billed duck, stilt, spoon bill are some of the birds I was fortunate to see here.

Thanks for your comments.

Thats a good number Mohan! Hope the place remains unpolluted and saved from the vagaries of "development".

Cheers,
