This sanctuary is a nesting and breeding center for all
kinds of birds, from herons, egrets, painted and open billed storks, to the
beautiful white ibis. We started the day like amateurs, forgetting our
binoculars, but soon hit our stride when we popped for the extra rupees to take
an incredible 30 minute boat ride that had us within a couple of feet of
several birds, their nests, and the occasional crocodile. Sometimes the proximity was a little freaky,
but mostly it was an incredible sight.
The birds weren’t spooked by either the boat or the white people inside,
so I could click to my heart’s content.
If anyone knows the name of the beautiful golden/bronze heron, I’d love
to know. If it didn’t have a hunchback,
it would have won best of show yesterday.
Enjoy some fabulous feathered photos (said aloud it is still
alliteration) here: http://flic.kr/s/aHsjV67oXZ
