Another wetland, another bird.

Last November I was lucky enough to visit a wetland  area a bit bigger and a bit different from ours. 

Keoladeo National Park in Bharatphur,  Rajasthan,  stretches over nearly 30 sq km.  The vast areas of shallow water had recently been partly dry due to over-extraction, but has in 2011 been re-flooded.  In 2 weeks I notched up 174 new species on my personal list!

Try this link for a few pics of some of the birds.
