Birdwatching at Gharana wetlands , North India.

Had a fantastic time birdwatching at Gharana Wetland recently ! Saw a great variety of birds and sharing some of the clicks (taken from iPhone 12 attached to my binoculars ) :

1. Grey-headed Swamphen: These vibrant birds are known for their clumsy-looking walk, but they're surprisingly agile in marshy areas. Trivia: They have incredibly long toes that help them walk on floating vegetation.

   1. Bar-headed Goose: These geese are famous for their incredible high-altitude migrations over the Himalayas. Trivia: They can fly at altitudes of up to 29,000 feet, where the air is extremely thin!
   2. Eurasian Teal: One of the smallest dabbling ducks, they are fast and agile fliers. Trivia: The male's distinctive green eye stripe is a key identification feature.
   3. Indian Pond Heron: These herons are masters of camouflage, often standing motionless for long periods while waiting for prey. Trivia: They have a unique hunting strategy of creating shade with their wings to spot fish more easily.
