We went to Kaikondrahalli Lake the previous weekend for a morning walk. It also gave me the opportunity to do some bird-watching. It is now the season when migratory birds arrive to this part of the world. Though I did not observe too many ‘migrants’ this time around, by the end of the walk the list was a fairly decent 31 species. Here’s the list:
